Good looking rifle, and two shots in one hole at 100 yds is nothing to sneeze at.  Heck, I'd be happy with that at 25yds.  Are you sure there's not a third 'hole' or ball mark in that group?  That lower left lead mark sure looks bigger than .490" diameter.

I agree about that lead mark, and a three shot one hole group would be some fine shooting at 100 yards.  I would tolerate the messy lube :).  Be careful not to mess up that barrel with Pyrodex; clean very carefully and thoroughly if you must use it!
