Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Completely off topic but...The Katie Couric / Bryant Gumbels Super Bowl ad made me laugh. I actually remember watching them say that 21 years ago and thinking I was so much smarter than them because I knew the answer.
All those questions... How did people survive back then without the internet and Google?

Don't wanna get shot by the police?

Yep these days not knowing the correct answer just makes you a typical poster, back then it would have made you the typical corpseOriginally Posted by Bailey Guns
I'd have some kind of shotgun so I wouldn't starve.
The first mass produced shotgun shells were made in the early 1870's. In 1853 Sharps had a percussion breach-loading shotgun. It could be loaded with separate components, but was generally sold with a kit so a hunter could roll his own cartridges at home the night before. Commonly available percussion caps would set it off just like the revolver and rifles of the time.
P.S. Someone has ported the oregon trail game to iPhone and android. Search it out!...
I loved that game in school. In the 'mac lab' filled with Apple IIe's andthe original 'macintosh'.
Ah, memories.
Also, given the requests I get on here, I'm convinced we have more than a handful of members refusing to give up their Apple IIe's or original Macintosh's. There are some wanting me to fix problems with some severely antiquated hardware.

"Praise be to our prophet, John Moses Browning, who hath bestowed upon us the new testament of shooting. Delivered unto us, his disciples, on 29 March 1911 A.D."
I prefer the "Organ Trail" iphone app. It's Oregon Trail set in the zombie apocalypse!

I just looked up .52 Sharps mold, Based on my results, if you owned such a rifle you would own the mold.
Same goes for the pistol. Cloth patched balls was a common load, the cloth would be varied in thickness to accommodate the various bore sizes and balls.
Reading about requirements for wagon trains, powder and lead were measured in pounds.
I always wanted to cast some bullets while relaxing by the camp fire.

Did a search of Kit Carson's pistols, he had bullet molds.
