Oldschool shooter

Thanks for all your comments. Finally had a chance to get out and shoot this rifle. 75 gr. of 3f seems to be the sweet spot. If I use it for blackpowder deer season I think this will be enough as my shots won't be much more than 50 to 60 yards. 4" groups in my first outing, but most of that is me. I need to get used to the slower lock time of a flintlock, plus learning to shoot as a lefty. A buddy who is naturally left handed covered 3 shots with a Skoal cap at 50 yards offhand.
