ladies and gentleman.. looks like they hooked another one.

I just started shooting flinters myself. They sure are something without a doubt. Talk about flinching, I caught myself the other day about to close my right eye when I was putting pressure on the trigger. I stopped and had a good laugh over that. I really now concentrate on the follow through. It will make me a better shooter overall I believe.

Once you get used to the flash in the pan then the groups start to come together I found out. I am shooting 75 grains of Goex FFFg, a moosemilk patch, and a homecasted roundball and holding about a 2 inch group at 25 yards. I know that is not impressive, but it will get better. I have a few issues with the flash pan to figure out yet. My new order of FFFFg powder has not arrived yet... So I am shooting FFFg in the flash pan.

I also tried some 245 grain Buffalo Ballets out of it. They shot real good, and loaded like a dream. I should have never got myself into this flinter stuff because I find myself already checking out the new rifles and custom flinters out there.... This could get expensive...

livbucks keep making smoke and keep the reports coming. Sounds like you have a good shooter there and are working up a great hunting load on top of it.... I learn from reading what others find that works for them. Although I found in my Thompson Center Hawkins, a little powder in the pan causes a fast ignition. A lot in the pan causes a fuse.....
