Recap ;First time out i had posted I had 2 shots and then misfires.I was loading 777pp and filling pan and dumping primer powder in touch hole.......Also asked what better round ball,conical,or sabots out to 50 yards.Well I listen to everyone that replied to all my post...777 out the window period....
New day and great advice from everyone.I loaded 80gr of 2f powder and used a pre-buttered patch and ramed a .490 round ball. And filled pan level full no dumping or tilting gun for prime powder to cover touch hole..Ignition time improved 100% and at 50yds a great group for a beginer.......a little high...raised rear sight bingo.......Wow no misfies..just made sure flint is wipped and frizzen after every shot dry towel......touch hole picked clean.Tommorrow first flintlock hunt....Happy New year and god bless -Dave :thumbsup:
