Johnny Reb,
Nice target. What is that a .50 or .62 caliber? I read an article a few years back about sharpening flints with a whet stone. I finally got the hang of it and keep my flints sharp that way because I cannot knap. I sharpen the flints right in the hammer jaws. I use a piece of scrap leather to shield the barrel while using the abrasive stone. A couple times a year, I pull the lock and clean and lightly oil the lockwork for fast lock time. Hope this helps. Adam

Hi Adam
it's a 54 cal. with a 1:24 twist. I wasn't sure how well this gun would shoot rb but it's actually not too bad. I shot one 390 grain buffalo bullet in that group using 70 gr. of 3f. the other 4 holes were caused by a .530 rb using 60 gr. of 3f and a .015 ox yoke patch. Thanks for the helpful tips.
