I have a cap and flint pistol - both about the same vintage.
Using 429 balls and .005 patch. Little less than 20 gr of 3F
Patch - see photo
Attachment 231417
Swab about every 3 shoots.
What accuracy should I have at 25 yards - if I was decent shot (not saying I am).
Shooting the cap gun.
Getting about 6 inch groups.
Tighter patch?
Sights suck - shoots highs with a big fat brass triangle front sight.
