    This may or may not work. Make sure your sound is loud.

    The slight delay in the “click-boom” of front loader has always enthralled me. Low smoke too….What was your load specs here?

    That was a .49 patched round ball pushed by 65 grains of Swiss Black Powder.
    Flintlocks are portrayed very unrealistically in movies.
    I will post a real time as soon as I can load it to YouTube.

    Love it! I got involved in bp shooting some years ago. Tons of fun. My favorite was my Ruger Old Army. Miss that thing a lot.

    I had a cap and ball revolver when I was young but never was interested after that. I have a 100 yard range close by that allows black powder rifles. I ordered a kit on a lark and became fascinated with them. I am building the fourth one this year, two of them for me.

    The best long range for center fire rifles in this area closed. I am too lazy to drive all day to shoot. I can’t hear the steel hit very well past at longer distances so these are pretty good for me.

    My Hawken flintlock at night - 50 cal silk patched round ball with 100 grains GOEX FFG blackpowder.

    If you slow the YouTube playback speed to .25 , it's pretty cool to see
