First Firing Questionsi
« on: September 22, 2006, 02:04:29 PM »
I am getting ready to fire my .75 caliber mini for the first time and I had a few questions.

1)  Does anyone use tin foil charges for this size bore?
2)  Where can I find a worm for this size barrel or would something else work just as good?

Thanks

Vern

I use aluminum foil in a 1 inch

I just pour it in with my 50 cal

I think you can go wither way.... whichever seems more convenient.

You whould be able to find a worm attachment, as the .69 caliber barrels are popular with the civil war re-enactors ... maybe Dixie Gun Works has them.
