If you're open to a swap, I can send you about ten pounds of pure soft lead in 1.5 lb. ingots in exchange for a half dozen of those flints.

Have you ever tried those Missouri white flints that Rich Pierce hand knaps? I like them. They don't quite have the longevity of Tom Fuller's black English flints, but his price is very reasonable.

Yes BPS. I've used them in the GP's. The ones I got were a bit more irregular in shape than were the black English flints I got from Track of the Wolf. But spark very well. You're right about both longevity and price. All in all, they're a good value and I'd recommend them to anyone needing flints.

One thing I forgot to mention in the report guys. After I finished shooting all of those round balls, and just for grins, I tried Ed Mehlig's 350 grain .451 conicals in the gun. They were loaded over 65 grains GOEX FFFg with 1/8" felt wad. The bullets fit the bore well and I was wondering how they would behave in that 1:48" twist.

Well, I only took two shots. They both keyholed the target at 25 yards and even with only 65 grains of powder recoil was brutal in the little gun. No more of that. :D

Did you try any of those nasty plastic wrapped projectiles in it like you mentioned you might?

BPS

I did not BPS. Ran out of time. It's still on the to do list.
