Does that include rainy days and also foggy days not forgetting those gale force winds. In these condition a percussion gun never fails meStumpkiller said:Feltwad said:Every man to his own but give me a percussion gun any day not the hassle has with a flintlock .A flintlock is ok for the odd shot but when you are shooting between 50 to 100 shots a session I need a gun that shoots every time a flintlock cannot guarantee me thatCol.

Get a good flintlock. ;-)
This is after 30 shots without cleaning - just loading and firing (skeet) No wiping or cleaning (which just pushes crud & moisture into the breech and flash channel). No delays or missfires.
I have two caplock rifles. One hasn't been shot in over five years and the other more than 15 years. Flintlocks get it done.
I've had plenty of bad caps, plugged nipples,
and missfires with percussion caps over the years.
