Out with the flintlock.
Being a grandpa is very demanding but she is worth it.
Alas only time for a short walk.

Won't be long before you are taking granddaughter with you and showing her the beauty of nature.......

Now that sounds like a grand plan! (And I'll be a grandfather to a l'il girl come September...)gamekeeper wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2017 12:12 pm Won't be long before you are taking granddaughter with you and showing her the beauty of nature.......
I'm glad I opened and read your post Nath, as I'd misread it as: "Out" with the flintlock... And I was almost thinking that you were getting rid of it...
Instead of as "Out with the flintlock", which is just what you did.
Good huntin'!

Re: Out with the flintlock.
I was just reading about how you guys were being overrun by imported gray squirrels and they were knocking out your native reds....Seems everyone is trying to shoot them. I wish I had that problem in Washington. I sure miss squill huntin'.

Yes, they are everywhere. A trap box in my garden catches them regular.

It's a.63". A Pedersoli trade gun. That day I was dumping about 75grn of powder and just shy of 1&1/4oz of #6(English).Ray wrote: ↑Tue Jul 18, 2017 6:24 am make ? …. model ?…. bore ?…..load specifics ?…..
you've probably already told us before….
i have a v e r y short barreled number 30 percussion that i've tried unsuccessfully on backyard squirrels with 7/8 oz. of fives and 60 gr. of powder…..they mock me while lounging in their arboreal paradise, throwing hickory and acorn hulls down the back of my neck as i stalk them…. but their day will come…..let them laugh…. there is a kestrel and some feral puddy tats lurking about, and who knows, but i might finally hit one myself….
Thin wads oiled and a full fibre wad wet with oil on top of the shot.
Have you patterned your .30"?

Re: Out with the flintlock.
Looks like fun!
So, what is the temperature there right now? Here it is mid-90's with almost 100% humidity. "Stifling" is something of an understatement!

High 80's, not to humid. A front is blowing in tonight so some rain is on the way.Ysabel Kid wrote: ↑Tue Jul 18, 2017 3:44 pm Looks like fun!

Ahhr, I see, sorry.Ray wrote: ↑Tue Jul 18, 2017 8:00 pmI have not patterned it properly....just riddled a soda can at 15 paces and assumed it good to go.....there are probably several squirrel sized holes in its average pattern....it is a #30 b.t.w. not a .30".... Closer to a .54"....just as your's is a #19 after the old way of gauging and probably referred to as a 20.....Nath wrote: ↑Tue Jul 18, 2017 2:02 pmIt's a.63". A Pedersoli trade gun.

pardon the confusion in mode of measurement..... I have learned to measure balls to the pound so I don't have to translate using a gauge chart when reading Oswell, Baldwin, Baker, Chapman, Roberts, Selous....etc.
Is it definitely shooting where you are looking?
Also, what kind of wad?
