Shot card? Is that like a Gas Check? What is the diamiter of the shot card?
I use a shot card that is .510x.125 - it really is not a gas check - just protection.

What is the patch pre-lubed with?
I use these pre-lubed patches, but a lot of people prefer to cut their own. They are pre-lubed with Wonderlube..

What is moose milk? Is it really moose milk?
No it is not real moose milk. Catugad will get on this post sooner or later and he can give you the ingredients and the mixing instruction for making your own supply of 'moose milk.'

The conicals diamiter should be .503 or are there different diamiters like .501, .502 and so on?
I prefer to use slip fit conicals - they are a lot easier to lload during hunting and they do come in various sizes and weight. The lead conicals you buy in a store off the shelf usually come with a taper fit and you would need to use a short starter to get them going in your barrel.



I treid to go to Dan's web site looks like he is re-building it right now - not a lot of information there. Another good place is No-Excuse Conicals. Dave is a great guy and gets orders out quickly - easy to work with.

Should I mic the ID of my barrel and find out how tight it is and then go up 100th of an inch?
You can do that and probably should but i would be willing to bet the .503 is what you are going to need.

I am going to be asking a lot of elementary questions so please be patient with me.
That is the best part of this site - we love questions....
