Holding Your Powder Horn

Shared by Mr. Zemann:

“Clint dropped off some old magazines that I had not read before, so, I brought them home and started reading the oldest ones. One of the contributors had a drawing of a cheap and easy way to stabilize a horn while you work on it. I’ve attached the drawing in case anyone is interested.
There was also an article by a fireman/muzzleloader about powder storage and how an old fridge makes a good powder magazine. This brought me to the conclusion that if your powder isn’t harmed by the cold during the decembbbrrrr! X-sticks match, it would be OK to shove the beer over in the man-cave fridge and store it there. Seems logical, kill two birds with one fridge.”

Remember that if you are a NMLRA member you have access to all the past MuzzleBlast magazines in electronic form. Lots of great stuff has been published in the past.

Article in Globe Democrat from 1952 about the Gemmer Club

Back in 1952 the Globe Democrat published an article about our muzzleloading club. The newspaper condition is quite fragile so I took some pictures and shared it here for all to read.
