    English flints

    I am shooting a 32 caliber Pedersoli Pennsylvania flintlock. The width of my frizzen is 5/8". I tried some 5/8" x 3/4" flints but they were too long...couldn't put the hammer on half cock. It seems that 5/8" x 5/8" flints are just about right. Do you know were I can find flints cheaper...

    English flints

    Howdy everyone, I am new to flintlocks and enjoying it! :) My lock uses 5/8" flints and the cheapest I have been able to find English flints for is $1.50 each. Is there a better place to buy flints? Thank you!

    Replacement frizzens

    hmm...so the Pedersoli frizzen I have on my flinter must be case hardened? So...maybe I should purchase another frizzen?

    Replacement frizzens

    Howdy, I am new to shooting flintlocks and I am enjoying it. In this process I have been purchasing a few items I think I need. :hmm: My question is how many shots will a frizzen last, and is it necessary for me to purchase a replacement frizzen for my flinter while it is in production? I...

    Black powder prices!!!

    Is there any chance black powder prices will ever drop in price? What do you think? Should I buy now or later to restock??? :hmm:

    .54 cal Flintlock

    The problem is that you are loading your gun with 4F black powder! I am glad you did't hurt yourself. 4F black powder should only be used to prime your flinter...not as a main charge. You want to use 2F black powder for the main charge.

    Pedersoli Tryon Range Report

    You might want to try 1.5F Swiss black powder...I guess the powder grain sizes are more consistent, thus getting more consistent pressures and accuracy. I have noticed that it doesn't foul up the bore anymore then 3F Swiss.

    Balls shrinking!

    I am not sure about that... I am pritty sure I didn't grab the wrong ball size because all I shoot is .310" and .490" round balls. I am going to put five or so balls (that fit right) in the ball bag in question and carry it around with me for a day or so and see if the ball size changes...I...

    Balls shrinking!

    Well I am using Speer round balls...I try to short start a ball from the ball bag with the patch material and it was loose...so then I pulled the ball out and using the same piece of material I did before I opened a new box of Speer balls and it short started and seated normally. Maybe the box...

    Balls shrinking!

    Something is happening to the lead balls in the leather ball bag. Could the leather be wearing away the lead ball some how making it slightly smaller?

    Balls shrinking!

    I must be mistaken...I ment thousandths not ten thousandths...there is definently a difference though...that is how I found the problem. I don't think they are elongated at all.

    Balls shrinking!

    They are noticibly smaller going down the bore and they don't shoot nearly as accurate at 50 yards...

    Balls shrinking!

    No I don't think so...they just ride in the bottom of my belt bag.
