    58 Caliber Roundball Loads

    The way the beach was setup I could not blade to the target at all unfortunately. From standing that's what I do, hook the butt over my bicep, and blade myself 90 degrees. Thank you

    The shoot n see targets were shot off of a bench, the blue red and yellow target was the offhand target. The gun shoots a lot better than I do

    58 Caliber Roundball Loads

    Got to the range today and did some load work up for my first left handed flinter. Started off by zeroing the sights at 25 yards, and then moved to fifty. At 50 yards, I started off at 80 grains of goex 2f, and worked my way up to 100. I did not go beyond 100 this trip because I was running out...

    58 Caliber Roundball Loads

    I shoot 100grs of 3f in the 54 caplock I have, my guess is this gun will be in the 100-120grs of 2f region, accounting for the slower twist. That, and the heavier powder charges flatten out trajectories a bit in the big bores.

    How hard was it to fit that l&r lock into the existing lock mortice on your rifle? I have a Lyman 54 percussion that id like to put a new lock into, but I am distrustful of the l&r being supposedly drop in.

    58 Caliber Roundball Loads

    I have just recently picked up my first left handed flintlock today, it has a 35 inch Bill Large straight octagon barrel that looks to be about 1:70 ROT, micro click adjustable target sights and an L&R lock. Any advice on general flintlock rifle reliability and loads for the 58. I've already got...

    WTB Lightweight Scope (Sub 13 Ounces)

    Picked up a Burris compact 3-9x32 with a bdc reticle, really nice scope. Lightweight, small, takes up a lot less of the real estate on the gun, and a good reticle that is thin enough for sub 400 yard shots this rifle is setup for. Also cut the weight down a fair bit, the rifle is noticeably less...

    Ballistic Gel Testing

    How it appears and what it's actually doing are two different things. Temp wound cavities are not the same as permanent wound cavities, and clear ballistics gel does a poor job representing actual permanent wound channels, while ordnance gel retains it's shape, and shows if the temporary wound...
