MOVED TO CORRECT LOCATION
Good day from 'just far enough away from Houston for me'.
Originally from the tropical isle of Newfoundland, Canada, now with about 20 years in SE Texas. Avid centerfire shooter now sauntering over to give this BP thing a try. I'm currently the owner or a Pedersoli 50 cal flintlock rifle and 60 cal harpers' ferry flintlock pistol. I'm basically just getting to know the hardware and replacing some things that I don't like, such as the wooden rod. Yeah...I'll bust that thing in a day or two, so I've got that replaced! I've also taken a bit time to get a decent possibles bag set up. I just need to decide on a bore cleaner/lube. I currently use bore butter, but that doesn't seem to be terribly well liked in the BP community.
My current project is to get a decent accuracy charge and sight in to that. Currently it's looking like about 75gr of 2F Goex is hitting about a foot too low at 50 yards. Time to break out the file!
