What about the flint hitting the edge of the pan though? Won't it wear them down and break them faster?

I saw some l&r locks for my rifle on track of the wolf that's good to know thanks.

Yeah i tried going up a size, but the corners hit the barrel and the edge of the pan unfortunately

Howdy all, been awhile since i posted, but i have been around trying to soak up knowledge. As some of you may know i bought a traditions Kentucky flintlock last winter. It's always been a dream of mine to own a flintlock rifle, its also always been a dream to hunt with one. I've been hunting...

Im gonna try a little bit of everything guys lol! Got .495 balls 3 diffrent patch sizes mink oil patch lube on the way from track of the wolf lol. Gonna have my wife pick up some of that green stuff to try and polish the bore too.

Mixture of 60 and 70 grain loads, not much of difference although very rarely a 70 grain load will burn through. I found .018 yards of pillow ticking on track of the wolf. Good enough or should i go thicker? These patches are the pre cut pre lubricated patches from traditions.

I dont swab between shots when plinking in the field only when testing sights to try and keep a known consistency. Im going to do a little bit of everything suggested and put together an order on track of the wolf for some .495 balls different patches that are dry and some pure mink oil for...

I borrowed a camera from work we use to look inside tight places, from what i can see the inside of the barrel has no rough or jagged spots. Also i checked my box of round balls and it says 175 grains?

Ok, thanks!

Yeah i think im done swabbing unless i have too. No such thing as squeezing the trigger on this, once you pull that set trigger if you look at the gun wrong she goes off! One heck of a hair trigger i do love that about it.

.50 cal. Shooting a .490 ball

I considered going up a ball size. Do you find them much more difficult to reload in a hunting situation?

Are you referring to using that as patch lube or to season the barrel with? Ive heard some guys use mink oil, any thoughts on that?

Fired patches look text book perfect 👍🏻

Sights are nice and tight. Ill look at the weight when i get home i waa trying to go off memory. Its a .490 caliber ball. My tc hawken groups great all day long with no issues using the same patch and balls but a hotter charge. And its only 1:44 twist so in theory it should be worse?

Hello all me again. Some of you probably saw my previous post about my traditions kentucky long rifle. Now that i got it shooting fast and reliably i decided to test the accuracy. To say im confused is a understatement. as you can see its all over the board. All shots where takin at 25 yards...

Well my powder finally arrived and the gun runs like a champ. Almost instant ignition of the main charge. I also installed a new flash liner, very first shot the main charge didn't ignite. After that it went boom 4 times in a row. Can't wait to shoot some more this weekend, thanks for all your...

10-4. Thanks to todays day and age i had to buy alot more powder than i wanted. So ive got 5lbs of goex fffg on the way lol. Ill let y'all know how it works, thanks for all your help, i greatly appreciate it.

Ok thanks. Everywhere ive look is out of goex but plenty of swiss. Guess ill get some of it.

Thanks guys, ill try and find some real BP and give it a shot (no pun intended). What kind do you recommend, ive used only goex before. Also 2f or 3f? Thanks
