First deer with a smoothbore

[Weber]

It finally come together and I took a big doe with my 62 smoothbore. Nothing builds confidence like taking game with flintlock you built.

Congrats , how far was the shot? What's your load?

 

[D.Summers]

Nice! What do you have there in the jars? Never saw that before.

Nice rifle! Congratulations! I love me some canned venison. For a change I like to throw a few roasts in the cold smoker for a half hour. Then cut and can the meat....mmmmmm

 

[Stykbow]

Congrats. That’s a fine looking gun as well.

 

[D.Summers]

So it's like raw, canned venison?

45 grains powder, .0010 patch and 600 rb, around 35 yards, she fell where she stood.

Nice work with that Fusil de Chasse! What was the distance of your shot?

 

[Spikebuck]

Congrats! Nice looking doe and smoothie.

45 grs pushing a big roundball cannot be too fast, but clearly it had plenty to get the job done! The killing power of round balls is grossly underestimated by many.
