Got my .40 dialed

[Grizzly Adams]

I thought I had it pretty well dialed in, turns out it needed half the front sight turned to powdered metal for this to be true.

I was shooting from a rest, 45 grains of GOEX FFFG, .390" rb from a new style lee mold, .016-.017" pillow ticking spit patch, 42/3/16" Colerain barrel. I was not wiping between shots.

Shooting at 55 yards.

3 shot group:

[Grizzly Adams]

Thank you kindly, everybody.

For anybody interested, here is the gun. I built it from TVM's Tennessee "poor boy" kit a few months ago.

Great looking firelock and even a better group!
Good work, MD! I'm going to be working up new RB size and patch material as well for a Kent Smith .40 cal. Tennessee Flintlock as well. It has a Colerain barrel on it. I only wish my eyes were as good now, or any where near as good when I was 17. :hatsoff:

 

[Ron Wilkerson]

Fine looking flintlock and it looks like you got her shooting fine. :wink:

 

[Dave Markowitz]

Very nice shooting and it's good to see a lock on the correct side of the stock.

Yep, we sure do, not to many of us out here. I need to dial in my .40 cal. also. I can't wait for cooler weather, 97 degrees does not make for good or fun shooting :shake: .

 

[FishDFly]

Where is the dial on M/L sights? I checked all mine and could not find one dial.

 

[nkbj]

Nice shooting dewd.
