I for one appreciate your humor continue on:thumb:

There is more of what a gun likes for its accuracy besides loads. It could be it does not like the way it is being held, type of sights. I think there is more accurate firearms than there are shooters that can shoot them accurately.

On the Seneca I have a small set screw to lock that movement your sight looks like my style . check on front edge for that set screw .

Have a T/C 50 cal flintlock and a T/C .36 cal percussion Seneca and mine do not move, check threads may be stripped

For me I have found that with most flintlock shooters that no flinch and follow thru account for a lot of unknown inaccuracy. agree 100% but may I also add that in a modern fire arm from the time you pull the trigger, till ignition, and the projectile leaves the barrel is approx. 4.1 to10.5...

No problem leaving them loaded over the hunting seasons I have here in Pa, say approximately 2 months. Just do not expose to extreme cold to hot temps as much as possible, condensation, it can be a game changer.

Hobby shops, it is called r/c fuel line. sold in diff sizes. aquarium air tubing may work also

I have soft tubing that fits snuggly the different nipples on my firearms. With a length of tubing fastened, slightly moving the nipple left or right as I turn it seems to seat and turn in with no problem. Especially handy for me on cap and ball revolvers

As far as a slow or fast round ball, I always found the faster I drove it, the more the penetration, the slower I drove it the less penetration.:dunno:

A patched round ball is what it is, fast or slow, you may change the composition of the lead, from soft to hard or hard to soft for more or less penetration, which I feel does not do as much as people feel it does, but ballistically you got what you got, it will never compare to a jacketed...

Wonder if Daniel Boone, Davy Crocket Lewis and Clarke had these problems also :eek:

Found this from a u/Matpen_78 So my great uncle, Charles Kroeger donated a number of muzzleloading rifles and a pair of pistols to a certain organization. His intent was for this club to be caretakers of the guns; shoot them, display them, just simply enjoy them. After he...

I have heard tales, and seen wallet targets, and pictures of flintlock muzzleloaders shooting a patched round ball into touching cloverleafs at a 100 yards, but I have yet seen it done in real time. I think that people expect accuracy performance from a muzzleloader to be on power with their...

There is always people telling others how much they know that means absolutely nothing!

Buy quality---cry once, buy cheap---cry twice

My T/C Seneca .36cal rifle I bought new back around the mid 80s had one installed

I am a few inches from reaching 80:eek:. Just got back from the Pa 3 day elderly hunt, had flintlock, and unmentionable along could have used either one any day, was using the excuse to early yet, or weather to warm, just could not seem to pull the trigger. Had a great time and will be back at...
