Gary, this is my second target posted this month but a different gun. You can disregard if the shoot rules don't allow. I've been AWOL for so long I don't remember.
This Fall weather is still holding and I just got my lock back from the great folks at L & R Lock Co. I took it out yesterday and again today. It is working better than ever, in fact flawlessly now. Tim at L & R fixed it and has it working better than ever!!
Flint Lock Rifle 25 Yards - Offhand:
Score = 24
I shot my 'custom' .50 cal. Full Stock Hawken ' Flint Lock. I start with 5 grains of Olde Eynsford 3f. On top of that goes 25grains of Triple 7 followed by a .015 moose milk lubed patch topped with a .490 Hornady round ball. I prime the pan with a little over a grain of Olde Eynsford 3f. She fires with no hesitation every time the trigger is squeezed.
This is a tough target... for me anyway.
