More black powder fun today, starting to get my Frontier rifle dialed back in after a long layoff during the cold snap.

50 grains Triple 7 2fg
.490 lead ball
.010 patch (little thinner patch made it much easier to load)

50 yds, off hand....shortly after this the wind went nuts again so just rang some steel for a bit.

Think you back in the groove now! Lube up the rifle and finish you winter nap!

Hey nice hat. Good shooting to.

[Hatchdog]

If that target had stuffing it would not any longer. You shot the stuffing out of it.

Great shooting RR. I have to compliment the hat also. It too looks Great!

[RanchRoper]

Thanks all. The hat is beaver and super warm!

[Headhog]

RR your targets make this look easy. Keep up the super work!

Always look forward to your range reports. One day you’ll have to favor us with a short video. I’d really just like to hang out with you for an afternoon on the range, but a video would do. Might learn a thing or to. But I reckon learning it and executing it are two different things.

Great, great shooting.

Great shooting RR, I have a modern inline muzzle loader but seeing your posts makes me want to go 1800s just to slow down and enjoy the day. I've never fired a flint lock and thought that would be fun and challenging (and never stress about primers) as a left hander finding a wrong side rifle is difficult..

They can be had OB. There are some that come up quite frequently on the muzzleloading forum. Ive been trying to talk RR in going rock lock but hes happy where he is at and thats ok.
