Underdog Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 More like desperate measures! I had got my bag ready the night before so I could dash out after work today. Come to load the flintlock and terror struck! I had forgotten my powder measure!! Oh well I thought and just tipped some powder in my hand and the same for the shot plus a little extra. Worked just fine U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malkiserow Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 If you miss with the lead ball, does the smoke inhalation get them ? 'tis a fine looking gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I was using shot guys, #7. Lead (leed) is not that much more than you would think as in all honesty 30yds is about it. I have done a lot of work on this lock and it is quite fast now and reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"A pinch of this" "a bit of that" It sounds like when you watch Michelle Roux Jnr cooking on telly, "a wine glass of this" "a fistful of that" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
