    When Do You Use Your Vent Pick?

    Load as normal: powder, patch, ball. Prick charge (my vent pick hangs off my trigger guard, so it's always there.) Then prime and shoot. That way you don't HAVE flashes in the pan! "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." ADK Bigfoot

    M. Avance Fowler 20 gauge

    Congratulations on your find. TVM makes good solid guns. I have thousands of shots out of my .50 rifled Early Virginia. It is my "go to" match rifle. I have had a couple of TVM Smoothbores, too, and they all were solid, dependable performers. If you have the vent liner with the hex head...

    Accuracy standard

    The target below was shot at one hundred yards, offhand, with a 50 caliber flintlock rifle. 70 grains FFFg Goex, .490 round ball wrapped in a .018 lubed patch. It is my second best offhand target at that distance (did not have a camera on that day.) I can't do this every day, but it can be...

    HOW RURAL IS RURAL?

    5+ acres bordering 1300 acres of watershed land. Deer, bear, turkeys, foxes, squirrels, occasional fisher cat. Hunted the hill behind the house until someone built just close enough to say NO. (Just under 500 feet.) So no shooting off the deck anymore. I now have to walk almost 750 feet to...

    CLOSED 20 Gauge Shotgun Ammo - lead shot, buckshot, round balls, etc

    75 grains 3F powder, nitro card, fiber cushion wad, one ounce shot, overshot wad. I tried the soaked cushion wad over the over-shot wad, but only tried it for two shots. Seemed to improve the cylinder bore barrel. For round balls, I used two diameter bare balls: .600 for the modified barrel and...
