Loafer I bet either one would work fine on coons, even the bigger ones you have "up nort der"

That's pretty good shooting there Nessy. No, that's darn good shooting!

I have the same thing you do. Except for mine is a South Paw. .. Green Mountain barrel, custom built flint lock. Love it! It doesn't miss. When i die I'm willing this thing to Ray Charles so he hit something. smile

Here's my first 50 yard target with the new 54 cal rifle. The two fliers are definitely me, not the gun.
530 round ball, .018 patch and 85 grains of 3F Goex.
Off the bench it'll do 10's all day at 50 yards.

Thanks. I have to work on the fliers though. I was averaging 42 to 45 points with 5 shots (50 yards) with my old 50 caliber rifle. Need to get there with the new rifle.

I'm trying to talk myself into shooting today, I've got some handloads I want to try... Wind is HOWLING right now but I think it's out of the south so I might be OK.
