Re: .50 cal flintlock
As far as any correction goes, for me it’s all breathing, trigger touch, and follow through.
I have taught myself to hold on target until the smoke clears. If I do that, things mostly go well.

Re: .50 cal flintlock
Shot my Henry 1860 tonight for first time in ages. Did ok rang some steel at 50 to 100 yds.
But I shoot my flintlock better. Who would think that? I get way more 100 yd hits with the flintlock than I did with the Henry.

Can’t help it. I’ve moved too far into the past to come back now.

I shot some reloads I did in 2019. 6.7 grains Universal with a 250 gr LRNFP bullet. Sounded like a pop gun compared to the black powder charges.
