So I shot my new 45cal 1/20 twist Flintlock barrel on Saturday. Im so relieved now I can shoot premium bullets. The barrel looks a little rough just because it comes unfinished. I plan on sending it out tomorrow to have Duracoat put on it.

I shot it 12 times on Saturday. After moving the open sights I managed to put my last 6 shots in a 2" group at 50 yards. I know that's not great, but I just don't practice open sights at all and really need to. I used 90grns of Goex and the 200grn XP by Lehigh defense. Ill probably switch to the 230grn Bloodline for hunting season, but between now and then many things could change.

The barrel is a little tight loading at the crown, but once the bullet is started it loads really nice. Here are a couple pics I took at the range.
