Use .36 colt flask at 25 grains FFF, .456/7 ball instead of .451/4, Grease top of ball and 1858 replica made in Italy shoots good target grooups. Get out in campground, informal target shoot at beer cans, bottles and shoot, slow reload and shoot again while other with cartridge guns watch. The get a $20.00 bet on shooting 10 beer bottle CAPS in timed fire limit-pick on guys with snubs that have already finished some beers. The accepter of bet has seen time to reload and figures he has advantage, lays down money and we line up with 20 bottle caps in line, start firing from opposite ends. Snubbie shooter does his 5 or 6, starts reload cartridges, black powder shooter (me) carefully shoots 6th cap and starts reload drill--as in loading lever down, cylinder pin pulled out and cylinder removed, loaded cylinder pulled from pocket and inserted, cylinder pin pushed in, loading lever up under barrel and fire number 7 bottle cap while snubbie is still inserting last couple cartridges. Snubbie shooter wastes another 10 seconds saying "What the F did you do loading??" while cap and ball shoots number 8. Designated range master says 10 seconds left, snubbie shooter quick fires and missed, cap and ball gets number 9, then 10 and finally gets a 11 from snubbie shooters row. Score 11 to 7, pay up and the little extra just before shooting started about extra $20.00 for each of others cap shot means $40.00 to cap and ball shooter- I have extra gas money to get home. Another couple hundred in side bets by observers changes hands. Did that about 4 times one riding season, then everybody at rallies heard about it or had seen it and wouldn"t bet, had to use credit card at gas station going home. RN.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
