[QUOTE="Super Dave, post: 2548602, member: 8429"] Lurker, I tried using a treated drop cloth for a dinner fly for one of my wall tents. It just holds and leaks water. Here's why: Canvas duck is a lot tighter a weave. When it gets wet, it swells, shedding water. That's why you don't want to touch it when it is wet. It gives the water a path to leak through. Back on topic now! Brandi, you will LOVE muzzle loading! I think it is kind of like being a pipe smoker. All the little ritual things you do to load, and so on. Spend a few extra bucks, and don't get the cheapest, although they shoot too. I really like Hodgdon Triple Seven. It shoots consistent, and doesn't have sulfur, so it is much less corrosive, and easier to clean (warm water). As a test, I shot a cheap old junker six shooter I had, and intentionally put it away dirty. It was over a month before it started to rust, and even that was minimal. Good stuff! Screw pellets. Shoot FF! [/QUOTE]
