[QUOTE="bngthmpsn, post: 277828, member: 17301"] I don't know about all these "wanta-be muzzleloaders" but my flintlock works just fine to about 100 yards, after that it's anyone's guess. I shoot a flintlock I built myself. It has a 1:22 twist so I can shoot the TC hunter type bullet. The lock is a timed Siler lock with Davis set triggers. It's a .50 cal. so I shoot the TC maxi-hunter with 100 grains of 3F. I know the book says 2F but this rifle likes the 3. It has iron sights and drops about four inches at 100 yards. I must admit that I have not had the occasion to actually shoot a deer at this distance most are between 50 and 75 yards. With the tuned lock there is no discernible difference between a caplock and my flinter provided the flint is sharp and not too much priming power. Just thought I'd but my two cents in. Now I guess I'll go back and introduce myself to the group since I just signed on. [/QUOTE]
