T7 ,
I submit that if you trust it the least , then something is wrong . There should never be a doubt that the gun will go off .
If and when it does , then it should frankly surprise you
I cant speak for others but the few times I have had issues , it was my fault .
Those times , I didn’t wish for an inline I wished I had by center fire LOL
But then I realize that , it would also be a different game .
Im also a hunter first and target shooter 2nd . But since I don’t get to hunter big game year around , I there for spend a lot of time target shooting in preparation. Thus im very surprised when my flintlock fails to fire ,regardless the weather .

here is a link to Greeners writings . the first book is more about muzzleloading and early cartradge shotguns
