Welcome to the group!
I fired my .50 cal flintlock in Utah a week ago. The first shot went perfect
(better than perfect) and then I loaded it and it misfired. When I got around
to pulling the ball and patch out, I discovered I'd gotten "buck fever" and
forgot to put powder behind the ball. I built my first .50 cal caplock in 1990,
so I'd been doing this awhile.
How does one get absolved of this sin???
Glad to have you aboard. Don't forget to put powder behind the bullet is my
mantra for today.
