Great day with my flintlock!
 
Its been a while since I've shot my Woodsman flinter so I took it out to 50 yards and tried 2 different patches.

70gr Olde Eynsford 2fg
.018 & .020 patches lubed with buckskinners lube
4fg goex pan powder
50 yards

This is the first 3 shots with the .020 patches ( pre cut )


Next up I switched to .018" pillow tick and cut at the muzzle. Still not bad at all!

Good shooting there. How hard did the 0.20 patches load?

Not hard at all. The lube is pretty slick so that helps a lot.

That ain't too shabby for a youngin! Me thinks I'm gonna break out the .54 on Friday if it ain't rainin and get her sighted in for our primitive season. I have the .50 Pedersoli good to go but I want to try the .54 first. I had to switch out the front sight Barry gave me because with it I had to elevate the rear sight so high that it seemed to only be hanging on by a couple threads.
If my old eyes group them twice that good at 50 yards I'll be happy.
