need a good load for 50 cal. flintlock,can you help?thanks,chuck.......
I have shot a 1:48 twist TC FL and have shot PRB alsoXTP with Crushed Rib sabot and 300g Gold Dots with it. I've gotten 1 deer with the FL on a drive. I was using 70g of Goex. This year I will be using 80g of Goex, with a 300g Gold Dot and a Crushed Rib sabot with a 1:28 Green Mountain Barrel. A 348g PB may also shoot well in your gun with about70g of Goex. I don't particular care for Round Balls in a 50 cal, i feel the 177g RB is a bit light for a ML, but it is effective out to say 50 yards, beyond that it looses energy fast.
