While watching some re-runs of the Yellowstone TV series last evening I saw two scenes that had reloading equipment and paraphernalia in them. One scene showed a couple shotgun reloading presses fastened to a bench, and in another scene there was a couple b/a rifles on tables, etc., and rifle/pistol reloading equipment, including shelves full of one pound cans of various powders. I noticed several cans of Alliant powders. I believe it may have been the episode where the little boy, Tate, had been kidnapped and the Dutton's were planning his rescue.

I appreciate the fact that some producers are doing a better job of making some fictional shows more realistic through the research and proper use of period correct guns, and other related shooting/hunting stuff.

Back in 1980, I was visiting Natchez, Ms while "Beulah Land" was being filmed for a TV miniseries, starring Michael Sarrazin.

I noticed the guns being used for a War of Union Imperialism movie were Trap Door Springfields. I asked the prop master/armorer why they couldn't use percussion rifle muskets. He looked at me as though I knew nothing of life and promptly enlightened me that they couldn't, because actors were the dumbest people in the world.

If one ever suffers from insomnia, he should go watch a movie production or observe grass growing.

BTW, a screamer of a Meme shows Alec Baldwin showing the prosecutor in the Rittenhouse case, how to place his finger on the trigger while pointing an M4 at the jury.
