RE: question on 50ca hawkens
I had terrible accuracy with my Lyman flintlock until I changed to .018" patches that were so lightly lubed that I couldn't tell for sure if they were lubed without reading the packaging. I think they were sold by TC. The .015" patches I used before were gooped with Borebutter and were a sticky mess, and also caused ny bore to fould up badly after only 2 shots. now it will shoot 4-5" groups at 100 yards which is a longer range than I plant to hunt with it.
Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms... who's bringing the chips?
