    My old school take on a riflemans' rifle

    I have the 1958 edition of that rifle in .243.I am at least the 3rd owner.I think it was used as a groundhog/varminter.The forearm has the finish worn from resting it on fenceposts/trees etc.Its my primary deer rifle.More than 50 taken with it.One of them,a 100 lb doe,was taken 10 days ago.I...

    Remington 700 ADL 30-06 firing when safety pushed to fire

    Two incidents I witnessed,take from them what you will.In the 1970's I hunted with a Marlin 336 30-30.At a popular PA deer hunting area one cold dark opening morning a crowd was gathered.Cars and hunters were lined up along a road.Some were loading their rifles.I heard a boom and saw a streak of...

    First shot off target,the rest are on.

    I clean with hot soapy water,dry and then put bore butter on a dry patch and run it down the bore as a last step.This is what I am swabbing out before I shoot.

    Thank you.Amazingly,I have had reliable ignition with my current flint/frizzen setup.I hesitate to mess with it.At least 20 shots with no problems.What is CLP?

    First shot off target,the rest are on.

    I'm resting over a sand bag.I thought a thicker patch or larger ball would duplicate the thickness of the fouling buildup.I read about a smoothbore musket shooter who chronographed his shots.He did not swab between 6 shots.The velocity increased with every shot.

    First shot off target,the rest are on.

    I had time for a short range session today.At 50 yards the first shot was low and right 9 inches from the bull.I swabbed with a borebutter patch and shot #2 was 2 inches low and right.Swabbed one time and shot #3 was 1 inch high on center.So I'm thinking theres still some fouling after...

    First shot off target,the rest are on.

    My range opens at 9 A.M..The hunting areas are nearby.I've thought about going to the range to get a good group and just do an afternoon hunt and then clean the barrel.

    First shot off target,the rest are on.

    I've tried different methods between shots.This is my latest attempt.I use 3 patches turned over for a total of six passes.This is a 24 inch barrel with a 1 in 66 twist.Patched round balls only.

    First shot off target,the rest are on.

    At the range I swab the barrel with dry patches to get the bore butter out of my .50 cal flintlock.The first shot is always off by about 8 to 10 inches at fifty yards.Then I swab the barrel 6 times with dry patches between shots.Then I usually get 3-4 inch groups on target.I just came back from...
