hey folks,
just a blerb about myself. 38 male, nova scotia , canada eh. been shooting arguns, shotguns, centerfire, and rimfire for a while now (5 years) and compound bow too!!! do some trapping but work/city life gets in the way. try and go to the range every saterday for as long as i can. i shoot on my property everyday with air guns and bow for fun/practice.
just getting into flintlocks. you'll probable hate me for this but i'm goning to get the combo deerhunter pack from traditions. i have read you slags of this product but- very cheap way to get into the sport. here are some questions (ps i plan to get a lyman in a year or so)
while shooting flintlock with powder .50 24 inch barrel 48 twist:
~what would avg/ballpark muz. velocity be with hunting load (say 110 grains?) and ball/patch, sabot, avg bullet?
~can i shoot 200/300 yards and still hit a 12 target? (bench or prone)
~if i buy a magnum pelet flinter, can i still load powder in it???
~with a 48 twist and ball what type of moa can i expect??
maney thanks.i know how adictive this is!!!! i just love shooting!!!! yes, i plan to put a scope on my flinter (200 yards???) fur shure.take it to the limit.
thanks again guys, this fourm makes the sport that much more fun!!!! and i will be reading alot of the past post here too to get up to speed!!! i have found gun forms to be awsome and change you from a newbe to sort of suito expert in no time flat.
~togther we can!!!
