Hey John that looks very nice!

In the vid I used a stout charge of 3f...115grains! Strong yes but it seems to want to group on that! It was a guess actually, just one and a half powder measures, you can see the measure hanging from my bags strap. More accurate charges next time starting at 90grn.
I knapped some poor flint and have some odd looking shapes but they work!
I reworked the frizzen recently and hardened it with coal, charcoal and leather!

Best wishes.

I have a Jackie Brown 75cal "canoe gun" that is quite handy.
