I tried all loads and 40 is the ONLY one that will shoot. I'm sure with more experimentation I could tighten the groups up some more but our squirrel season opens next Saturday and I'm tired of playing around with it lol. I did throw 1 shot high at 50 but that was me I knew when it went off that...

I think it's good enough for squirrel, I'll prob never shoot past 50yds. Most shots I get are 30 or less. I live in PA so it is really heavily wooded in my area. Especially in the early season, I ranged squirrels I seen from around my yard and most are between 25-35 yds.

This will be a hunting gun. I wanted a lube that could stay in the barrel. I don't have to swab between shots but accuracy isnt as good as when i swab every 2 shots. Mink oil is pretty well regarded as a good lube.

Well I went back to the range today. I think I have it figured out. I tried 35, 40, 45 grains again with the .010 twill match lubed with mink oil. Groups weren't bad but I started to notice when there was any fouling that made the ball seat just ever so slightly more pressure it would throw a...

I'd rather just sight it in for 30 yards but my local range doesn't allow you to bring target stands.

I think I will give that a try. The dot is kinda big so I may try and file it to look more like a post per say. I think I'll try the 6 o'clock hold before I do any filing.

Yea it has only 1 wedge pin and its tight. I think I'm going to file the front sight to have more of a post than a dot. Then I'm gunna put white dots on the rear and front sights.

Oh I almost forgot, here is a picture of my local range. Someone asked about my setup so here it is. Don't mind the spotting scope, I got tired of walking back on forth to see the holes.

I'm still scratching my head. Seems the gun wants to be dirty to pull a good group. Maybe instead or a .010 twill patch, I might need to go up to a .015 twill to build more pressure. It may or may not tighten the groups. My front sight is an issue aswell at 50yds it completely cover the 3" target.

Ok well I went back to the range today. Did make some headway. Target one shows X marks that were shot with 25 grains and .005 muslin. Shots were erratic and I could not find any patches. The group that's circled was 40gr with .010 twill. I dont remember if i swabbed or not between shots...

I tried spit patch, it does pretty good. However, I can't use spit patch while hunting where the gun could be loaded for more than a day.

Azmntman, I almost ordered the flintlock version and would have preferred that but I'm left handed so it wouldn't have been ideal. I bought a right handed flintlock a long time ago and that was a mistake, I never could get over the flash right infront of my eye. My GPR if lefty and I wouldn't...

Lol figures

Ok, got back from wally world, picked up some Muslin that's. 007 and compressed is.0055. I also found some Twill that's. 012 and .0105 compressed. They also had muslin that was .019 and .015 compressed but I didn't get that, I may later on after I try this stuff. Do I need to wash this before...

I just might have to do that, I'll be heading to wally world here in awhile, I'll see what I can find there.

The local range has concrete shooting bench with a heavy mat ontop. It's not rubber but kinda puta you a mind of it. I use bags that are filled with media. Same bags I use for high powered rifles shooting groups. I have no troubles with those. I was going to take a picture today cause I figured...

I'll try to find something, I micd the cotton cleaning patches I was using and they were .019 and .015 compressed.

Think I'll make a trip to the local Walmart to get some muslin or whatever else that 100% cotton I can find.

I'll try everything everyone mentions. I have a pedersoli scout in .32 that shoots like a shotgun no matter what ya feed it. This one I can tell potential accuracy is there but just gotta find the right combo. I need to stay with a .351 ball. I cast 500 of them a week ago and sorted them by...
