A Flyer Ruined My Day
Doesn't it just tick you off when you have a good shot string going and get a flyer to ruin the group?
Other than that, the new .58 caliber barrel on my Great Plains flintlock is doing pretty well at 300 yards with the 650 grain .577 spitzer (designed by Ed Mehlig) over 150 grains Blackhorn 209.

I was shooting off hand. Might not have gotten that flyer if I had used the bench.

What sloppy shooting! Only thing I can see wrong with that target is that you missed a decimal point when you wrote down the distance. I believe it was 3.00 yards and not 300. I say that because you can't shoot that good at 30.0 yards.
And another thing, you couldn't make a hole that big in a target with a cannon let alone a flintlock!
I bet you're also saying that you used open sights too huh?
