Nice! At some point I've got to see if there are any black powder/ flintlock groups in my area. Theres alot ill need to learn once I get to actually firing the damn thing
@SMACK3R just ask. Many knowlegeable people around here. Twist rate will determine projectile. Pathed roundball is great all around. Start with a snug fitting ball/patch combo and a charge equal to the bore .50=50grn. Work your way up. Use real black powder for best results. If you plan on swabbing between shots then sight in that way. Otherwise shoot yiur first 2 shots just to make sure your on paper but as the barrel warms and colkects fouling point of impact will chainge. And so forth.
