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.
