Traditions Kentucky Flinter

frontier gander · 05-30-2008, 09:32 PM

Just wanted to show everyone that i browned the barrel and lock on my 50cal traditions kentucky rifle. After about 15 minutes of searching through some boxes i finally found a flint that had enough of an edge to spark. I need to restock my flint supplies now that i have 3 flinters.
But here she is. Taking her back out again tomorrow @ 100 and see how she does, along with the .54 great plains rifle.

That is a very pretty rifle there. My friend has that rifle but in cap lock. It is a great shooter without a doubt. His has the 1-66 twist barrel and is an excellent roundball shooter.

I took her shooting yesterday evening and i gotta tell you, shes one hell of a shooter! I got the best groups EVER! I took 3 shots at 100 yards and ALL 3 were touching!

Bad news, Its 7" low with 110g 2f goex. I dont know what the heck is going on with that. Its dead on @ 100 with 100g 3f goex or atleast it was the last time i had it at 100 yards. I dont know what the heck i am going to do now other than to buy some 3f and give that a try again.

1 1/2" - 2" groups are normal with 110g 3f but 2f really seemed to hold the magic ticket. Never had 3 shots touching @ 100 yards with this rifle.

Three touching at 100 yards with FFg?? Heck, if it keeps shooting like that, stick with the 2F and get a higher rear sight. Did you notice any difference in fouling between the 3F and 2F?

Great shooting!

I have a hard time getting groups like that with my scoped CF's let alone a ML with iron sights.
