Underdog 2,337 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Not bad for a smoothbore. (The flyers were me experimenting) The one in the black was by drawing a finer bead. Load was. 70grn fine black powder. Thin card. Two wet thin leather wads. .440" ball. Thin card. 50 good strides. After went and got a couple of rabbits but loaded with shot. One at 27 paces and one at 31 paces. 3/4oz of #7&1/2 shot works very well. Edited March 17, 2019 by Underdog 5 Quote Link to post
shovel leaner 7,648 Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Good shooting. I always seem to remember historians and documentaries saying that the old muzzle loaders were inaccurate !! Not the case here , smooth bore too . Were you shooting off hand or with a support or rest ? 1 Quote Link to post
