Man there is something extraordinarily gentlemen like about this entire video.

There is a series of books published in America called Foxfire . They were written by a high school teacher and his students , documenting country life in the Appilachian mountains . One chapter was about hunting stories . One old timer recounted how he hunted wild game for food . He used a flintlock rifle and cast lead bullets . As lead was expensive , and he had only enough for one or two balls , he would shoot only when he had a tree for a backstop to catch his ball . After harvesting the game animal he would dig the lead out of the tree and recast it . His family used every part of the animal when it was slaughtered . Those old time hill people wasted nothing .

There was a certain beauty to this video. Hard to explain it. Somehow you captured the cold harshness of the winter, and the warm comfort of the fire. Your calm voice helps too. I enjoyed this far more that I probably should have. Bravo.

I love this video. I cast my own bullets and it is great to see it done "old school". I will try this with my own muzzle loader. It's an old kit gun my father built back in the 1970s and it's a dream to shoot. .45 caliber. It's tough to find lead balls the right size so why not cast my own and have fun doing it.

Even casting lead is prohibited by KZfaq now? I guess they won't tolerate anything educational anymore.

You are not a history teacher. You are history. Great video.

excellent ... the truth, making fire with flint and steel and then melting the lead ammunition is the best adventure in the world. I would like a video of a complete hunt doing the same thing ... don't carry ammunition, make a camp, melt the balls and go hunting. to honor our grandparents who hunted that way ... and don't forget the coffee beans. congratulations and a big hug from a supporter of ARGENTINA.

Fifty years ago when I started shooting black powder, I got a "possible" bag for my supplies when I was out hunting. I got a brass container to hold the fire making supplies and the maker put a magnify glass in the cover. I recently saw a video of an outdoorsman chopping a piece of frozen clear ice from a stream and shaping it with his knife and later with his warm hands into a large lense which he used to start a fire. Doing things the old fashioned way gives you respect for the people who only had this way to do things.

Hay Pard. Buy a raw hide dog chew toy next time you are in a pet store. Soak it in water and it will become skin again. With scissors/shears cut 5mm/1/2" long strips and starting at the end of that ball bag mold handles, tie a 1/2 hitch and wrap it around the handle at least once covering them. Hold the end and let dry. The hide will shrink and stay on. This will act as insulation and save burning your fingers. The handles on a mold like that get mighty hot and the hotter the mold part. the better casting of the round will be. The part near the mold will get burned but who cares. Love your videos.

Seriously? Who in their right mind gave this video a thumbs down? Well, three idiots did! Cap, another great video, thank you for your efforts and please keep them coming!

You should do a video on that camp knife

I am very worried that KZfaq will some day make all this kind of informative content "illegal", we sure live in strange times.

Old world ways. Very soulful.

This channel is such a paradox....it's about guns, but still so peaceful haha!

Great work once again! I am loving how often you are uploading right now, and i am very excited for the wheellock pistol as my main historical interest lies in the 30 years war.

Örülök, hogy itthon is van valaki végre aki ilyeneket csinál!

wow that wheel gun is awesome

You made my day! I used to cast my own lead fishing sinkers when I was a kid. I did Aluminum castings using sand to make ash trays. Great fun!

Mister, Old School is what I have been looking for. Your video is exactly it. Thank you.

Very calming, makes me long for a simpler time, you are very lucky to have the time and money to partake and experiance this

I am a SASS shooter and have used Ruger .45's for 3 years. I now have two Uberti Colt Walkers on order and will cast my own bullets, thanks to watching your videos. Also, I always start my BBQ or any other outdoor fire using the the charcloth and flint/steel method. It makes for better food and fire!

I cast my own sling bullets with outdoor fires. There is no greater feeling than to feel the weight in the hand, or to see if the inscribed insults turned out okay once you pop them out of the mold.

that wheel lock had some recoil! great video sir

Always “old school” thanks professor

Detailed and clearly explained as usual. Thanks from western North Caroilina, USA.

Great video. Looks like fun! I can clearly see the name “Rapine” on your mold. I knew him, and I live about a half hour from where he had his machine shop in Pennsylvania. He made a great line of bullet molds for all sorts of blackpowder (and modern) arms.

I envy your weather, and loved the video! Thankyou for sharing!

I made a video exactly like this a few months ago on my channel. Except mine is a bullet for a cartridge! :)

I surely do enjoy your videos. I wonder how many times this was done in American Colonial times just like you did? Tens of thousands no doubt.

I love that camp knife!! Great video on “ rolling balls” as the old timers called this.

Well done, Beautiful knife!

Can’t wait for it! I loved making my own bullets!

Great video! I do really enjoy all your videos where you are out in the nature. However I also like your videos about traditional black powder guns (and good reproductions) very much!

Absolute pure kino.

Great Fire Starter video.. Thanks...

Great video greetings from the USA

That was very nice! Thank you.... HAPPY NEW YEAR..

Very nice video, as usual!

Very nice, I see you had a present from Rigby.

Single or multiple lead sprues are common find in the woods or fields when you metal detecting. I have similar 16,5mm lead mold for my mle 1777 BTW:)

I love Wheellock Pistols, the sheer elegance of them. I also have still over 60 kg of Lead......

Excellent dating advice!

It looks like shooting this kind of weapon will put your eyes out!

that is an amazing hat, and great video!

Best fire starting video I ever seen.

Thank you for sharing this video

Well done!

A wonderful video. Thank you.

I need try that sometime As always great video 👍

a good video as always.

Capandball + bushcraft. ;-)

I was hoping for a longer video and some campfire stories 😊

My Hungarian stepfather taught me how to make a proper fire. He fought for France during ww2 and was captured by Germany at The Maginot line .

Very nice video.

Very Nice. I love your channel . Thanks

Nice knife.

Great Exhibition!

Very cool! More like this!

Love your vids very informative Side note I just got my snack box from. Hungary today

Muy buen video

Great video. Good to remember when everything falls apart. Now, how do we make the gunpowder?

You are the man ,very cool!

You go "stricktly path." In our globalised world it is like medicine to take the time to watch, what you show to us.

Such a boss.

Great video thanks 😉💪

Really interesting

wow! svaka čast!

Very nice

Nice vid, thx!

please try to shoot some with the sprue on it. I would love to see how they fly from a smooth bore.

Verry nice channel

Great video thanks God bless. 👍👍👍

Excellent video. What make is your knife?

Really love watching your videos. That's really cool mold .where did you get that lead ladle ?

Whats your bowie knife?

Great video Balazs! A pocket flask would help take the chill off.

what make is that knife?

If I would like to experiment with different loads with the Lorenz rifle, would it be bad or harmful for the gun to use 70, 80, 90 or even 100 grains of black powder? Pedersoli says not to use more than 100 grains of powder and their guns can propably take it, but I'm asking just to be sure.

Where I can buy a spoon foro the lead?

What mold was that in the video ?

Do you happen to have any load data for blackpowder .41 swiss loads? The internet is rife only with smokeless ones and the 55 grain 2f goex powder one I was given I cannot seem to get all of the powder in the case without severe case expansion. 3f loads would also be appreciated if you have them

awesome👍👍👍🍸

now if you could build a fire, cast your bullets, and use them for hunting, all in one day, that would be next level

Who made that knife you are using? (the big one)

What kind of knife are you using to cut the wood?

Is that a Rogers Rangers pin you are wearing?

Where did you bought the spoon?? Nice video!!!

i hope you cleaned up the lead afterwards it's pretty bad for the ground

Anyone know what happened to the most recent hunting video?

Nearly everything for fire? If you know friction fires, either the bow or hand drill then the forest does giver you everything for fire.

where are you located?

The Hongarian Ray Mears at work :-)

Now you need to bring Sulfur and Salt Peter with you so you can make your own black powder at the same time

Why would casting lead be a problem. The same method would be used for a lead statue or fishing weights

where can I find those traditional casting tools?

That's how I do it, except I cheat and use a small propane burner instead of an open fire. Works well and is quicker.

Seriously, who are the three guys who disliked this video? Why?

enjoyed the video. you look a lot like little finger!

I cast myself up about 30 .678 balls the other day in a graveyard. Great time.

Why the fuck I can't download this video?!
