I had a nice range session Sunday with the GP flintlock. Shot up the last of my black powder, a half can of GOEX FFg.

The 1/2" flint I had in the gun (which was hitting low on the frizzen but sparking real well)broke in half on the fifth shot. Replaced it with a 3/4" flint and shot with that one for the rest of the day.

I used the FFg powder in the pan for all shots with no problem. If it was slower than the FFFg I used in the first two range sessions, I sure couldn't tell the difference. I'm prettyhappy about that because I see absolutly no need to worry about trying to find (or make)someFFFFg "priming powder".

I had the Lyman 57 peep on the rear, and the Lyman fiber optic "hunter" on the front for the first ten shots. Then I put the wide blue factory blade back of the front and found I could get a much better sight picture on the target with a 6 o'clock hold. Had lots of fun. Anyway, here's the best target of the day - bench rest of course.
