Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders .40cal Flintlock Squirrel Rifle

I don't know how it could be much more accurate...sitting in a chair picking off empty .12ga hulls at 30 and 40 yards...a squirrel rifle to die for.

TC Hawken Flintlock stock
GM .40cal 33" x 1:48" Flint barrel
30grns Goex 3F
.015" prelubed cotton patch
Eddie May/GA .395" cast lead balls

An outstanding combination of components in this Flintlock.

At 5:30am yesterday it was 59* cool, clear, calm, low humidity...the range session was one of those where it seemed if you just got the muzzle in the general direction of the target the balls would just find their way into the bullseye like they were laser guided...3 hen turkeys with their '07 broods wandering around the range a couple hundred yards out...just a terrific early morning to be up and about.

Sounds like a near perfect day to me....and where did you steal those temperatures?

We have a freakish cool front here in NC this week...total abnormal for July of course...shut off the air conditioners last night and used a window fan as it was down into the mid-50's at bedtime (highs just a few days ago were 98*/99*)

Sounds like she's dialed in pretty good. Nice when things come together.
Same weather up here. AC's shut off for now.

Where is "up here" ?

rb, I'm up in Ct. HHH weather coming back on Monday.

Sounds like a fine day.
