    Repairing escutcheon screw holes

    I recently acquired a 58 cal TC Renegade. Both screw holes for one escutcheon have small bits of material missing between the holes and the wedge key slot in the wood (not the escutcheon plate).

    I’m shooting a Lyman GPR flintlock in 54 cal. Shooting .530 roundball with mink oil lubed .018 pillow ticking patch. I got good groups at 75 yards with 80 grains 2f Goex, but when I tried 90 (and 85), my groups opened up. My last two bull elk were shot at 90 yards with the same gun but...
