Musketoon!
Hi again Mike! We're dying with the 90 degree heat over here! Not used to it like you Spokaners! As far as I know, there has been no CAS shoots at Pt. Townsend. My latest trip is a .17HMR CZ 452 with a Leupold 4.5-14x Tactical mounted on it. It'll do 1/2" groups for 5 shots at a hundred yards! My PH Musketoon wouldnt do that at 10 feet! If I can figure out how to reload that .17HMR with 4F Goex, I'll be in Hog Heaven!
I could never "Tune" my Musketoon! Needed the money, so I sold it. I hope the fellow in Geogia who bought it was able to do better than I did, but he said he was just going to shoot blanks. They sure are a well made rifle. Glad to hear yours shoots! You must have the right mold.
I posted a link to some Whitworth "threads" that are on gunboards.com for you over at proshooter.com. I corresponded for awhile with "tac foley" over in England, who is on that thread talking about his Whitworth trials and tribulations! Seems he had a devil of a time getting it to shoot.
Safe Shootin! Joe
