I'm almost two years late but as most of you know, life comes at you fast. I have tried Triple 7 2f & 3f in three different flintlocks over the last two weeks. My preliminary finding is that it shoots the first and second time out of a clean gun in perfect weather - dry, mid 70's. After that...

I understand that. Someone here should buy it and shoot it... it's fine.

Shoot it, its's a muzzleloader for goodness sakes!

It's underway. There is one every month. Here's the link to the March 2024 Postal Shoot. https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/march-postal-match-target-ready-to-shoot.177002/

Good question. It appears there is some confusion on this post. This original post was for the February 2022 shoot. I don't see that the February 2024 targets have been posted yet.

Better than movies... read the journals.

The rasped balls grouped well! I'm impressed. Thanks for the comparison. :thumb:

I would be but Maven is going to have to send me a gun to use. 😁

How does one know the year it was made? 🤔

I acquired a .32 Green Mountain drop in barrel for the Thompson Center Hawken this week. So I decided to see how she shoots today. After shooting 10 rounds at another target so I could get a feel for how she shoots, I decided to post the monthly target and give it a go. I decided to keep the...

A glorious day to burn powder in central Wyoming! But of course; what day isn't? Shooting with a cross wind of 8 - 15 mph from the West, my left, I was shooting my Lyman Great Plains .50 w/ 1: 66 twist - Off Hand. Load: 40gr Triple 7 2f, .015 patch lubed with moose milk, .495 Hornady round...

The rifling groove depth on many of the TC barrels is very shallow - like .004 - .005, I believe. The Green Mountain barrels are closer to .012. Additionally, the GM barrels are 32" long vs. TC's 28". I found that the GM barrels are more consistent shot placement when other factors are the same.

I've got some I'll send you. PM sent also.

Can't wait!! Keep them coming.

I figured 10 shots at one target is plenty. Two that I would consider flyers. Maybe because they were Hornady balls? Probably because I dropped too soon rather than following through with my hold. I forgot to write on the target that it was 40 - 45 grains of powder. Great target this month! I...

Buy a Lee REAL .45 Mold and pour your own. You'll be happy you did. Link to Lee REAL .45

e-Bay buy it now $64.95.

If you're serious you better buy it now because it won't be available long enough for you to get an answer from the seller.

I can assure you that the folks at Track of the Wolf know what a gun should be valued at.
