Today, I shot my flinter for the second time and was hoping for 25 shots. Every 5 shots I lubed a patch with #13 Cleaner on 2 patches, then ran 2-3 dry patches down the barrel. Ball #13 got stuck. I noticed #12 was pretty tough to get down the barrel, but I thought I could get one more down the barrel. I'm kinda confused as to why it got stuck, since I was cleaning the barrel every 5 shots. I was shooting between 50-90 grains gradually working up a load. Should I have used a bore brush in addition to the patches. Also, the patch went in straight and didn't bend over on me.
As for my results, I was shooting offhand at 25 yards and was shooting about 4" groups, near the end of my shooting I was putting them 2" apart. Pretty please with my results.
Now I gotta go to Cabelas and get me one of those CO2 dischargers I'm sure that's PC/HC.
