    Sharps O Ring Breech Mod

    I have used two. One was a carbine that was very leaky (IAB). It would shoot a flame down on your forearm that would scorch your shirt. I had the o-ring mod done to it and it worked great after that. The other was a Pedersoli, not modified. It did emit some gas at the breech, but it was like...

    .50 caliber Smoothbores?

    First time flintlock shooting with my Woodsrunner

    .45 cal deer load

    BillyC, I have been hunting with a 45 n round ball for about 25 years. It’s a great all around caliber. 40 grains fffg is great, all day long for plinking and small game squirrels n turkeys. 60 grains fffg has killed lots of deer for me out to 75 yards. Good luck with the new rifle!!!
