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

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?
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.

Congratulations Weber!! It's sure satisfying isn't it? What part of Indiana are you from? I'm near Bloomington.

What brought you to use 45 grain of powder and was it 2f or 3f? Working on my own load for .62 smoothie

Awesome job!
I’ve been hunting exclusively with my smoothbore for a few years now, only squirrels so far. Maybe this year a deer
Congratulations!!
