Disclaimer: this is not a humble-brag thread about my exemplary shooting abilities (of which I have none...),but more about sheer dumb luck.
After weeks of intermittent rain and ice storms I took advantage of a pretty day to sight in the cherry stocked jaeger I have been posting updates on. I expected a full day of shooting, and filing and drifting the sights. Lo and behold, no filing necessary. I settled on 90 grains of 2f, a .610 ball and .015 patching. It's tight, but not too bad to load. My chronograph gives it an average velocity of 1200fps with a SD of 10. I'll try it at 50 yards next, then prep the barrel for rust bluing.
