So that's what makes someone an expert huh. Gimmee a break. So if I go out and buy one of every muzzle loader then i can become the resident expert. maybe you ought to change your name from "semisane" to "completely nuts" Owning something doesn't make you an expert.[:-]

Dave is the man, no doubt about it. After all, he owns ever muzzle loader ever made.

RE: resident expert
It has been brought to my attention that someone may think borecleaningweasel is me under a different account. That's pretty funny! Believe me, I would have used a more creative name... If you're still not convinced, check the IP addresses on my account and his.

Yea well don't worry I don't want to belong to this forum. I thought it might be a decent place with some knowledgable folks but I can tell it is nothing more than a mansy pansy meeting house for the opinionated. You are about the only honest person here that lives up to your name and speaks your mind. Everything else is political correct nonsense or pablum puking commercials disguised as test results,or name calling and personal attacks for confronting anything.
I read back through a lot of threads . i think i will go to a forum where real men hang out and real friendships can be established.. See you sissies later.

Hey Weasel, I've been a member of this forum for two years and in all of that time I've only said this to one poster.
I do believe you are a NIB. We've had lots of guests at out hunting lease, a few of whom we classified as NIBs - stands for Never Invited Back.

RE: resident expert
Since I have not commented on all of this, perhaps I should. First off I am no expert nor have I ever claimed to be. And granted I own over thirty some rifles, but I could not agree more in that, the numbers of rifles one ownsmean nothing in terms of expertise. I am simply a muzzleloader shooter like the rest of you. For me its a passion. I am also blessed with the opportunity, time, and resources to try all sorts of things with these rifles. But I learn all the time from members of this forum and other forums every day.While I am honored that some place me in such highregard in this field, believe me. I too have questions and concerns like all the rest of you. I ask others theiropinions and experiencesall the time. Perhaps my difference is I am willingto learn from everyone. That's the beauty of these forums.
I've learned from all of you; optics, rifles, powders, sabots, projectiles, cleaning products, you name it. Every aspect of this sport down to the kind of targets we shoot is a learning experience for me. Embrace the knowledge presented in these forums. Take it with a grain of salt if you must. Even be skeptical if you must. Most of all embrace the camaraderie we find on these forums exchanging ideas, resultsand adventures and just interacting in a social manner. If your sole purpose is to come on a forum and try to prove your own agenda, or you dislike the information presented in the manner it is given. Then the best thing about these forums is, no one forces you to be here.

RE: resident expert
just one MD?
You mustn't be that sad.
Remember the old adage: Its better to keep you mouth shut and have people think you're and idiot - than to open it and remove all doubt....
Not you - but I've seen forums where folks say what's on their tiny little minds.
But this forum is the best I've ever been part of and the people here are great.
We all have our little tricks and tips that we share on here and it make us all experts as a whole.
