I'm going hunting tomorrow morning. I haven't been in the woods since November. There is less than a week left in the Alabama turkey season and I have a gun I haven't even shot yet.
It's what others here have affirmed to be a Narragansett Arms smoothbore of .60 caliber.
Well, I ent shot it yet. I haven't patterned it. I've never even loaded a smoothie flintlock until tonight. I didn't even have loose shot in the house so I popped open some 20ga #5 magnums and harvested the shot. I cut some cards from card stock and am using felt pads as wads. I went with 70ish grains of 2f and 70gr(about 1 ounce) of shot. One card and felt wad over powder and the same for the shot.
Call me crazy, but the last time I decided to go hunting for the first time as an adult, with little to no prep(apart from sighting the rifle), the freezer got filled in 20 minutes.
I've hunted turkeys for many years, just never with a muzzleloader. Watch out Tom, here I come.
