Mr Loader
I have read the using a hair "bosal" if you will permit me to name what I
think your describing reduces sensitivity and should only be done for a day
or two if needed to get the horse back to paying attention to nose pressure.
Something about the prickly hair causes them problems.
I have also read bad things about using a rope through the mouth like the
indians used. Specifically that it dries up the siliva and encourages a
hard mouth, the opposite of having a little copper in the bit.
Have you found either of these to be true? I have never tried either so I
am just going off what I have read.

FYI,
Black powder, all grains including 7F, in (mixed if desired) 25 lb lots is
available
from: McGee Industries, PO Box 56, Raymond, MS 39154. Phone 601 857 8997
Just bought a load myself and it worked out to $9.12/lb including all fees
and shipping.
According to McGee, after May 1st shipments can only be to a FFL.

Sorry for taking so long to reply, but I have been away and just got around
to checking a whole boat load of e-mails.
Don't even need a tow worm. Tie a leather thong or length of cordage around
the middle of a small hank of tow, or cloth, if you insist on using it.
Push the tow down the bore with the wiping stick, (ram rod),
and pull it out using the cordage.
The tow should fit the bore as tightly as possible going in, but will
usually pull out fairly easy.
J.D.

To anyone interested, I have several brain tanned deer hides ranging
from 9.5 - 11.5 sq. ft. They sell for $12 a sq. ft. These are really
nice hides. If interested, email me at bornd@earthlink.net
