Getting my Ol' Faithful ready to make meat this fall. It's a flintlock smoothbore. I can shoot bird shot or ball out of it. Shooting a .54 patched round ball over 100gs of FFFG . The first target at 15 yards, the second at 25. I did a little sight adjustment to get the point of impact above the front sight some. It's always a relaxed, slow paced time that I enjoy very much.

Just got home from the range myself shooting one of the 32s. I need to quit trying to fix things that aint broke. Played around with heavier powder charges and groups went south. Back to 15 grains of 3F Goex and all was well again. Gonna get the 45 Hawken out tomorrow and finish up getting the load and patch combo dialed in for deer season this year. Central Indiana is having some awesome weather to be out shooting the last several days.
