Default GPR .50 Flinter Shoot

I went out for a quick shoot today with the Lyman GPR .50 Flintlock. I was using 75 gr 3f Goex, .490 Speer Round Ball, .018 pre lubed pillow tick patch. I wet swabbed and dry swabbed between each shot. I also used 3f in the pan.

It was a nice cool morning and the winds were calm or following. Range was 50 yds and I was shooting off of Shooting Sticks.








Not the tightest with this load but it would definately be "Minute of Deer".



Afterwards it was off to build a crapper for the upcoming deer season. A door and some TP and we're good to go!!!
