I know it will get better, but for offhand I'm not the least unhappy. The ragged hole, maybe someday, but that fair fancy shootin' for a flinter...to my eye. One side benefit of working with the flint is the discipline instilled. It shows up readily with more modern arms with faster lock times.

Shot the same day as those above with a bolt rifle, offhand at 50 yards as well. One point of redemption, they are paper patch loads.
