Thats better! I went out again today with the flinter and 100 yards. My first shot hit an 1 1/2" from the other 1st i took a day or 2 ago! Still 8-9" low on the first shot but this is what has be stumped. # 2-3-4 shots were all 9" high! #5 through 12 didnt even hit the board! On my last shot i took #12 shot, the wind had changed direction and i was able to see where the bullet hit. 3 feet IN FRONT of the target! I dont think this triple 7 in a flintlock is a good idea anymore. Now maybe if i were to swab the barrel CLEAN after each shot, it would be worth it, But i need something that will keep atleast a 2 shot group while im hunting. Tomorrow i will up my charge back up to 90 grains and fire and see where that puts me. Afterwards i'll just swab until i get the sights adjusted to where it will be dead on. Its funny how the triple 7 grouped tight at 50 yards but sucked big time @ 100. Ah well, it will work for now. Just as long as #1 shot goes where i want it, it will do for now until i get some Goex ffg powder.
I have a BIG box set up for tomorrow's shooting. I want atleast 3 close grouping shots before i put the rifle away until hunting season.
