A couple of years ago I tried to build a Franklin style muzzleloader. Mine would not seal good at all. I was looking at Jeff's website and he talked about the Franklin style ignition plug (Knight). Sent him a email and he told me he could install his breech plug and it would seal.
Just received her back on Thursday. Had to go by Richard's house to pick up and drop off some bench rest work and showed him the breach plug and "modules". I think Richard was impressed. I know I am. When I left, we where talking and I told Richard I was going to Hawks Ridge toady. And that I would put up a target at the first flag pole and he said that was 500 yards away. I said "Yep I am going to shoot me a wallet group". Richard just smiled and walked away.
Ok I only shoot two shoots. Here's the reason why. I just mounted the scope last night. A friend helped get sighted in a 480 yards by shooting at clay pigeon's, so I thought. Last shot at a pigeon he said was 3" right so I adjusted the scope the wrong way. Now I was 6" right.
Took my first shoot, it landed on the middle.
Took my second shoot, could see no difference.
Looked through a spotting scope, looked like one bullet hole.
At that point I am thinking, This thing is spraying a shogun pattern.
So I decided to not shoot a 3rd bullet.
Here is my 2 shot wallet group.
I do have witnesses.
Winchester 70 wssm, Douglas .45 1/20 twist about 25" long
275 MH smoothsized, 73gr H4198, .062 veggie wad and Federal 215 primer
