what will she do at 100 yds?

That was a five shot group at 50 yrds I haven't put it on the bench at 100 yrds as of yet will do that this winter when I can bench off my deck but I am confindent that being a 45 cal Green mtn Barrel all I will have to do is increase my powder charge by 10 grns and be point of aim at 100 yrds.

Very nice gun and some good shooting pard, those guns are a lot of fun I have enjoyed a couple of them over the years, great squirrel/deer guns

No doubt TG I plan on using that rifle for trekkin'

Nice rifle and group.

Actually four are touching and I pulled one out of the group I think it was my first shot and I flinch locked a bit.

Greenmountain Boy, Nice rifle and shooting. I was thinking about getting either a TVM Tenn. or Southern in a .40 with either a chambers late ketland or an l&r lock like yours. I was wondering how does she spark? Also wondering which buttplate you choose? I can't make up my mind and between the 2 rifles. Thanks Dew

If I did it over I would prabably have gotten a PA poor boy with a large butt plate and a heaver barrel for stability.
I perfer a one inch across the flats no smaller than a 15/16.
My lock works great with the advise from Paul V on tuning locks.( a good read)
My next flint will have a Jim Chambers cutsom lock.
Consistancy is the key to good off hand flint shooting.
If I chose between a Southern and a tennessee I would choose a southern because of it's larger butt stock.
:thumbsup:

My Southern .36 has a 3/4" barrel and weighs next to nothing yet I shoot it pretty well. The best butt plate and stock is on the Early Virginia. I have one from TVM and it handles recoil very well. The muzzle heavy barrel makes it a fine target rifle as well. Everything considered, I love the Southerns and Lancasters.

Glad to see you have the sparker out. I'm not looking forward to shooting against you at CB.
We had a great time up in Wyoming wish you could have come

Thanks for the info. Toni recommended the southern also. I always liked the looks of the tenn. but if the southern is more comfortable I'd have to go with that one. Thinking about a 13/16 .40 about 38 in. long, I'd like to have something to do some off hand shooting plus hunt for squirrels and bunnys. Dew
