Flintlock problems

[Robinson]

Fantastic advice I've gotten here. I'm waiting on the fouling scraper and better ramrod from track of the wolf. Bedbugbilly, yes I was using 2f and you make a good point about the military priming with the same powder with the paper cartridges. Next time I go out next Sunday Ill try a charge or two. I've only used modern inline muzzleloaders and to be honest with ya didn't realize the art form that goes into this. But should I get things together I plan on hunting everything with this musket from rabbits to deer.

Sidelocks... and especially Flintlocks, put you in an exclusive club.

Walking onto a modern shooting range with a flintlock
musket designed/used more than 250 years ago is a bit
like bringing a pet dinosaur to a dog show

You shouldn't consider yourself a real muzzle loader unless you shoot a flintlock. They are the "bee's knees" as it were.

what kind of oil should I use to protect the bore during storage?

Here's what I use.
