Title: Mountain Rifle with Mr.Flintlocks Lube
Post by: frontier gander on March 10, 2014, 01:19:37 AM

It was t shirt weather " Seriously! Low 60's today" and so I got the rear sight browned/blued and installed it. Will have to tap it over to the left a bit but man this sucker just will flat out shoot with basically zero load development!

80gr Goex 2f

.490" homecast round ball

.020" Patch lubed with Mr. Flintlocks patch lube " I left the patch a little wetter this time around"

50 yards.

5 Shots in that upper hole, The low shot was me being a dummy and squeezing the trigger when I saw a black area between my sight and the 6 O clock position of the bulls eye.

Also had my 58 Hawken out there just to fire off a shot that's been loaded in there for a few days now. Took an off hand shot and hit the 3 O clock area on the bulls eye. I love that one, she may be a little on the heavy side but its well worth it in the end.
