Well I made it to the range for the 1st time with my new flinter(TC fire storm 50 flint) This was the first time shooting a flintlock. Overall I would say it was a good first outing. My 1st couple of shots did not go off because I think I had to much anti seize on the breech plug & flash hole. Tore it down punched the bore & cleaned excess lube off everything and put it all back together. I put a pan charge (4F) down the barrel followed by 90 gr of pyrodex RS then a 240 gr XTP & sabot. Nervously I set up for the shot BOOM almost like a center fire it went off, 2" high at 25 yards! Two more shots followed very close. After a few shots I moved to the 50 yard line with good results. I did have one more misfire but overall I did not think it was so bad. This was my 1st time out so I only went with one load(KISS). With the results I got with this load I do not think I am going to change. After shooting I cleaned up with Olde Turkey Track powder solvent. Everything wiped out very easy, was a quick and easy cleanup. I do still have one question. I ran an oiled patch down the barrel after cleaning, before shooting the next time should I run a dry patch down to mop up any excess oil or will it be ok? Sorry so long but I am still excited!
