Well folks just let me say that ya'll take care when hitting the crown of your barrel with the emory cloth to smooth out the crown of your rifle.I did as sugjested to help with loading a tighter patch and messed up.I could load the tighter patch but i could not hit a paper plate at 50 yrds,went back to my original load 1 1/2 to 2 inch groups with this[.495rb .15 patch 70grns of 3f swiss]same thing,all over the target.So i started all over.Now it shoots 80 grns 2f swiss with a .490rb with a .18 patch.2 inch group at 70yrds. Any charge of 3f .490rb .18 patch was all over the target.This is with a flintlock rifle with a GM barrel.
