I’ll definitely keep this in mind when I get time to break it down.

If you were to give the “slot” a numerical number for length, what you recommend?

No I spent way to much time on this to start over. It’s a Pedersoli Scout.

I bought this kit just before hunting season last year and took my time in a hurry if you know what I mean putting it together. I did check the barrel last year and I don’t know how I missed this. I always turn out work to the absolute best of my ability. I am a VERY picky gunsmith and if it...

Well I think I’m throwing in the towel. I got my Schutzen 3F powder to try. Plus I got a Lee .311 mold. Made all new round balls. Sorted to .2 tenths of a grain and put a mic on them, all measured .311. I tried from 15-45 grains in 5 grain increments. Made new patch strips soaked and excess lube...

No, the angle is at 60 degrees. I then polished the lands and grooves. It’s smooth and doesn’t cut patches.

I was wrong, his 4 shots measured 2”. The right one he called and the lower left I believe was the one I’m not sure. This was 50yrds.

No the patches are dry .018 pillow ticking lubed and cut at the muzzle. I did polish his barrel, took my time and got 90% of the rust out but that left behind a lot of pits in the breech area. The barrel smoothed out. Bore scope showed pits and rough edges were rounded over and polished nicely...

Well got an update, went down to my dads house and recowning and polishing did help. He can keep 4 out of his 6 shots in 3” at 50yrds now they’re not covering a 2 foot target anymore. However, his patches appear to be still tearing or stretching. One blew a clean hole right thru the middle of...

That’s who I told him about yesterday. I’ve seen a lot of people recommend him, and he isn’t terribly to far away from me.

Yes that was gunna be my plan b. However I don’t think he will use them.

Yes, the borescope did show considerable erosion in the breech area. Bore has pitting but worst is in the back 1/3rd of the barrel. The upper 2/3rds isn’t terrible but not great either. I know the rough spots was what was tearing patches. After polishing it not longer cuts tight fitting cleaning...

If you zoom in in the first pic you can see how bad the crown was. Plus it was flared out in a cone shape. He built this himself 20 years ago. He did a good job on it, just left the factory cut and crown. I think it looks a lot better now than it did. I just used my fixture with my starrett 196...

Plan on it next week, I still have a few other things he wants done to it yet. I’m still waiting on powder to show up aswell.

So while waiting on supplies to finish my load work up for my 32. My dad was having issues with accuracy with his flintlock. It used to be able to shoot 1” groups at 50yrds, however now he was having trouble keeping them in a 6-8” group. Torn and shredded patches were found along with a damaged...

I don’t know how in the world you found that but man I thank you a ton. Honestly you have no idea how long I looked for that. Again thanks 🙏 so much appreciation to you sir.

I shoot 80gr Goex 2F with .490 ball and pillow ticking patch. I get about 1.5 group at 50 yards which is plenty for me. I never tried to squeeze the accuracy out of it. Shots are usally less than 100 yards.

Does anyone know what the code number is for a Pedersoli Scout Percussion Hammer Screw? I can not find the number to order and Dixie Gun Works has been no help. I been researching to no avail. I have a feeling there all the same but I can not confirm this.

Well I have a few pounds is Schutzen 3F coming my way. Next is to get a mold.

Yea money is tight that’s why I have an ad posted to trade cast boolits for a mold.
