ORIGINAL: HEAD0001
I am going back to the basics. I am going back to hunting with my FL only. I have bought all the modern rifles, and scopes, and propellants, and bullets.................... and I am a bit disgusted with myself. Sure I can add a liitle range, and a little more accuracy to my shooting!! But to what ends?? I enjoy the PA flintlock season more than any other ML season(or any rifle season), and the main reason is that it is FL only.
I am getting my molds back out, and I am going to work up a good cast bullet load for my FL. I always could shoot round balls out to 125 yard or so with no problem. So I should have no problem working up a good cast bullet load that will be effective to 150 yards?? I do not see a problem with that.
And IMO nothing is more fuin than shooting a FL. So if I stray off the path---I need you guys to put me back in line. Tom.

Master Po: Close your eyes. What do you hear?
Young Caine: I hear the water, I hear the birds.
Po: Do you hear your own heartbeat?
Caine: No.
Po: Do you hear the grasshopper that is at your feet?
Caine: Old man, how is it that you hear these things?
Po: Young man, how is it that you do not?

Caine: How it it that you know cast bullets are the best for a FlintLock?
Master Head0001: I just know Grasshopper.
