I don’t know that I got a list but basically anything you’d with a Renaissance Faire (before they all became steampunk fantasy cosplayers anyway) or Civil War reenactment groups probably counts.

Do you need to have faith in that?
I will not be showing up to the apocalypse compound with a musket.
(I've got my fingers crossed for zombies, it's the only one I've trained for..)
Ever read The Emberverse trilogy? A minor change in physics means no electricity or gunpowder working, so Society of Creative Anachronism geeks become the main power in the world.
I read a few of his books but that SM Stirling guys gives me weird “I wouldn’t leave my kids alone with this guy” vibes so I stopped.
I didn’t say it was an exhaustive list. Sheesh.
They're easy to maintain, and you can make your own ammunition...
I mean, with the right equipment you can do that for things other than a musket as well...
I'm just going to say right now... This will not be my task in an apocalypse.
The books are pretty much Left Behind for wiccans...
He had the other ones about Nantucket going back in time, and another about people taking over a pre colonial California…all vaguely interesting concepts but yeah he just seems off to me
I'll be doing both.
Well, that's just it...do you have the right equipment? At the beginning, it might all be like an episode of the A-Team, where success depends on knowing what to do with the garageful of power tools you happened to find, but I imagine that phase may not last long!I mean, with the right equipment you can do that for things other than a musket as well...
And I for one hate cleaning up after black powder. Lord is it dirty compared to smokeless.
How do you know lead musket balls aren't what you need for that?
Oh ya, I have what I need. Though I only have a single stage press. If I wanted to reload in volume, I'd definitely want a turret press. But no power tools needed.
True, but the kick back is a bitch and accuracy is non-existent. I'll keep my rifle & scope.
The few times I've shot a muzzle loader, these were my thoughts exactlyI mean, at my reception my sister-in-law called dibs on me for her zombie apocalypse team in her maid of honor speech. Apparently I'm in high demand as a group armorer.

You'll have to get to know @Amanda330 , she'll be strategizing how to out fox the zombies & rival groups who want our supplies. Her code name shall be Switchblade, because she's gorgeous, which means folks often under estimate just how clever she is.
Seconded
Yes.
