    whitetail hunting loads

    Is 65 grains of 3F behind a 50 cal. prb enough for deer or hogs? My flint shoots this load like driving tacks. I just do not want to be shooting to light of a load. Thanks

    Converting a flintlock to a caplock

    Yes I am using real black powder and no it does not spark as reliable as I think it should. As for strait drilled or lined Im not sure.I always assumed that when I was not getting a good spark that I did not have my flint in right?? Any suggestions.

    Converting a flintlock to a caplock

    First thanks to everyone for all the great info. I do think Im getting a slower ignition then I should be. Other than drilling out my touch hole what might help it fire faster? As for a custom made rifle where is a good place to start looking? Thanks again.

    Converting a flintlock to a caplock

    Thanks for all the good info fellas. I'm going to try shooting it some more to see if I can work through this. I know it can be done and like someone said it will be a whole lot cheaper. Besides flinters are pretty cool.
