Long Range Muzzleloading / Re: I'm in ....
« Last post by KDubs on Today at 04:40:13 PM »
 I took up my position hiding behind my truck, way behind.
  I go to this particular sand pit early and usually have it to myself for awhile.
  Anyways loaded up and after two FITP  and a WTF .
 I figure that out and decided today I'm not doing the hold forever thing .
 When I settled in it felt right and I touched ol ginger off and it was good .
  Using the correct size rock made a big difference.

 I will always keep trying. Just now I can shoot at it more than once.
 Good practice.
 Keep it up, we need more fellas in the ranks.

HOLY BEEJEEBERS, KEVIN DID IT IN SPADES!!!!!  Kevin, how do I turn off the lead repellent force field? Geez, Louise, THAT is quite a shot and Captains Morgan and Cresap have put you in for a field promotion to Lieutanant! Seriously, that is spectacular. If I ever shoot one like that I will rent a highway signboard so everyone sees it. One more thing, pm me your mailing address so your "certificate" redeemable for some Sam Adams celebratory libation can be mailed. WOW.   :hairy  :bow  :toast  :applaud

It's all good no powder.
 This is my last kibler WR.
 Calls for a 7/8 x 1 and I had been shooting 3/4 x 3/4 ish french flint and kept breaking rocks so I ordered the correct size from TOTW , they came yesterday.
 The one that caused this came from a bag of loose English flints I had
 Pays to pay attention huh. 
 Going shooting today with the correct size flint.

Nothing severe buddy. Are you sure you wouldn't be better off with a 3/4x7/8? I know a guy that makes a mental error once in a while and forgets to put powder in. I should have inquired about the type of rifle before making a comment about flint size. My apologies.

 Remember, it's important to use the correct size rock in your lock.

 Thought I had a 7/8 x 1 in there but turns out if it was a little bigger than that.
 Didn't ding it up too bad but still.
  Whoops!
