First shot with my new Trapper👍

[sekiar39]

Loaded with about 28 g 3f powder and a 3/4 full primer of same powder and a.490 Hornady prb. I’m using a 5/8 flint set with a gap of about 1/16-inch clearance. To my surprise I just heard one loud boom. No delay that I could tell. So far I’m a happy camper ! Later I’ll check and see how she does on hitting the target. However next to shoot is my new Crocket rifle.

Let us know how the crocket rifle goes. It looks like a nice rifle

I was surprised at how quick the ignition was when I first fired mine, too. I was expecting a delay, but the ignition was pretty much instantaneous.

The Trapper is a good shooter right out of the box. Many others have discovered the same.

That is some serious weight in that projectile. It would be interesting to see what kind of velocity you're getting out of that.
