I've been sketchy about smaller bores in flintlocks...but at some point, I feel like I gotta give one a run and see what it can do.

I hunt currently with a 62, and I'm building a 54. I own a 50 (TC Renegade), but I don't hunt with it anymore since moving on to long rifles.

I sort of want to build a Beck or Dickert in 45 and a nice long barrel and see how that goes with deer hunting here in PA. We cannot go below that legally (they put a minimum bore size of 44 caliber in our regs).
