When i look at Fowlers or Fusils a rear sight isn't even mentioned in the...

    Smooth bore rifles

    Does anyone shoot ,a smooth bore rifle? was thinking of building a Northwest trade gun , with the addition of a rear sight.... Has anyone done anything similar? I like the idea of a Flintlock, with the ability to shoot ball, or shot.

    No this is a single trigger, with no fly.....about ready to give up on her and build or buy something better. Let the grand kids shoot it with light loads at the range.

Is there a mold you would suggest? do you lube your bullets with wonderlube, or something similar. what load would you suggest as a starting point? Is a "ballet" a good option? Has anyone had good success with a patched...

    Flintlock Bullet Barrel

    Actually if you are getting pass through, your getting good blood trails, but wasting energy. If you want to dump all your energy in the animal to kill it faster,I have heard of ppl using a lower powder charge, Like 70 gr with a power belt, so it expands and dumps the energy in the animal.
