Gun weighs 8 pounds six ounces with a flint.
Starts and loads good with a .514 ball(my .510 casts this size consistently)with a soaked water based patch lube. Seeing half the sight at 25,she shoots 3 inches low,full sight,3 inches high.Windage is good right off the bench,all shots are right on line.Today I'll work on the elevation part.Finally getting some summer weather, so after all the rain,the only clouds around are clouds of mosquitoes.Au du Muskol is the order of the day. ;D
