History lesson: 250 years ago today, 4/19/1775, the War for Independence from England started in the early hours at Lexington Mass. then moved onward to Concord. School district across the nation use to try and show the importance of this event, however I question if they still do. Many of us, hopefully, can see and understand just how these brave men changed our Nation forever, many of them gave everything. We the People are once again fighting back and seeing what is today taking place in England (UK) and Europe can also see the American Spirit still fights on while the Governments of Europe have transformed to the Dark force. Also remember that George Washington after taking the oath of office on 4/30/1789 went to the St. Paul's Chapel in NYC and prayed, prayed for our country, formed a covenant with God. God never forgets and on 9/11, this Chapel, being a mere 100 some yards from the Trade Towers was left whole. Sort of like what happened in Butler, PA, Divine intervention. Here we are on Easter weekend, 250 years after these Brave men fired the opening salvos that led to our Independence . We need to Pray for our country, our President and the people of all countries that just want to be free and at peace. Truly, God Bless America!

I receive many questions regarding max loads for a given caliber and barrel. While I have an idea what might work best, I seldom know max. Barrel length plays a big part in the truth to this answer along with brands of powder, although to a much lesser extent. Here is my suggestion for those seeking max powder charges, mind this is BLACK POWDER ONLY, if you or a friend have a chronograph shoot over it, when velocity stops rising you have reached max for that barrel. No point in using more because you are just wasting powder. Bullet and patch tightness could effect this a little, but not enough to really matter. HAPPY TRAILS!

In the April edition of The American Rifleman, for those that receive it, on page 34 at the top is a photo of a New England Fowler that was used during the Revolutionary War, which by the way started 250 years ago next month April 19, 1775. Anyhow this Fowler VERY closely resembles the Griffin Fowler that http://www.therifleshoppe.com/ has. Very beautiful fowler. The late John Bosh built one for me, because I did not have the time, using our 46" Griffin barrel and it is pure elegance. Think about it, 250 years ago we started to fight for our Freedom, now 250 years later we are again. Happy start of the War birthday America.
