My only question is: "How sad were you when you finally wore out that flannel shirt and decided to cut it up for cleaning patches?" I bet it looked real cute on you!
It wasn't a shirt Bronko. That was my one-piece "footie" PJs. I really miss them.

PS. I thread the drill end to attach it to the ram rod.
That's a pretty good idea Lee. I've only used a ball puller twice. Once on a hollow point Deep Curl and once on a lead ball. The hollow point was easy to grab. But the ball took a little pressure to get started and the screw pulled out once or twice before it got a good grip. Are drill bit shanks difficult to tap, or do you heat them first to soften them?

Fifty bags??? Who do you think I am Chet? Cayugad??

.58 TC/GM Hawken
.50 TC/GM-LRH Hawken
.45 TC/GM-LRH Renegade
.50 TC/GM-LRH Renegade
.54 TC/GM Renegade
.54 Great Plains Flinter

That's only six bags (the two .50's share the same one). I don't have bags for the two in-lines.

Semi, I just took a twist bit of the right size to thread 10-32 and screw the threading die on it. Most of the lower priced bit are only tempered on the cutting end.
