Finally had a weekend where nice weather and free time collided. :clap:
Got the new flinter out to do some patterning in anticipation of our PA opener in 2 weeks. Think I settled on a winner.
20ga English styled flintlock fowler built by Ken Moors using a 38" Colerain turkey barrel
1 3/4oz of nickle plated # 5 1/2 shot
95grs of FFFg Goex
Swiss 4F prime
2 thin over shot cards
1 Hoppes #9+ lubed 20ga felt wad
Shot mixed with Jiffy "muffin Mix" for buffer
2 thin overshot cards
Consistently puts right at 140ish pellets in a 10" circle at 30yds with enough velocity to shoot through both sides of a Campbells Chunky soup can.
Nowhere to hide in that pattern and should be consistently good to 35yds if not a touch farther.
30yd patterns
Downright nasty at 20yds!!
