Used my Kibler Colonial .50 I finished last fall. Gorgeous rifle and an heirloom piece for certain. A .490 ball and patch over 75gn of powder did a number on her! Truthfully I was surprised at how much damage a round ball could do. Her lungs and heart were obliterated. If I didn’t know better I would have said it was a high powered rifle round that did that.
In any event, this was the first deer I’ve ever taken with a flintlock. It was in PA’s late season FL only. Weather was cold and snow and it was the very last day of the season and my last time I could get out to put some food in the freezer. I am still riding that high!!
