What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

I’ve noticed that the set trigger on my SMR is a bit tight in its physical curled shape. The tension seems okay, but I will eventually want to straighten it just a little so it doesn’t pinch my finger so much. And I have average hands that aren’t chubby at all. The trigger radius seems awful small.

I did end up filing it and bending it some, much more comfortable!

So far today I I've coned another barrel. This one is my TC 45 barrel that has done very well in local matches. I'm coning it enough to make it easier to start a tight combo. This gun has never cut patches but I did do the old thumb round off trick after coning.

445 ball. Of course it doesn't drop in like this with a patch.

I also am trying a mod to the sights. I outlined the rear sight the same way. Too bright??? I have a lot of acrylic paints so maybe a continuing experiment.

I find by filing a 45 degree angle on the tip of the sight, and leaving it bright, gives me best target acquisition.
