Had some time today to shoot my Pedersoli Kentucky flinter. I am still getting the hang of the loading procedure, and trying not to let the pan flash produce a flinch. I did have a couple of pulled shots, and twice the main charge didn't ignite on the first pull (had to reknap the flint once to get a better edge), but overall, I'm pretty pleased with the results. Not using a 'power' charge... sticking with a medium charge of 70 grains of FF Goex down the pipe, and a few grains of 4F Goex in the pan, and a .490 PRB. First group is below, and the final (best) group is last. I need to work on my sights to bring them up and right a little, but for 50 yds, iron sights, I'm tickled.
You gonna pull them pistols, or whistle Dixie?

I think you are right. I think at the very least, you need to evaluate what, if any, difference the first (fouling) shot POI is in regard to the following shots. And I do swab the oiled barrel before I load the first shot, and between shots at the range with alcohol.
I have some more flints on order. I suspect the next time I hit the range, I'll take a very close look at that first shot. Most of my available shots in the woods this fall/winter will be no more than 75 yards. I hope that the POI will not be affected that much with a slick barrel at relatively close range.
