Fired my TC Black Diamond today. It's the older gun with the short barrel. Wanted to sight the gun for patched round balls for hog hunting.


Distance: 50 yards
Gun: TC Black Diamond
Scope: Minox ZA 3
Powder: 80 grains of Grafs 2F Black powder
Ball: .490 Hornady
Patch: Prelubed commercial
Primer: Musket

Shot three rounds and made my scope adjustments. This is the left hand target. Swabbed the bore and fired three more rounds. First two holes touched. The third shot was low to the right: Called this shot.

Methinks i could make this gun shoot round ball pretty good by swabbing after each shot.

i wanna killa hog with patched round ball and this gun.
