My son and me used to squirrel hunt with muzzleloaders. I use a charleville musket with shot in it. I used pillow tacking lub, for both my top and bottom wad. Paper had a tendency to catch on fire. He used a hawkens rifle same method. We got a hole lot of squirrels hunting that way.

That’s a pretty good pattern. Can’t believe how close to the road you are. Great area you’re in. No one freaking out. Great visit.🐸🍺🤙🔥

[@GO_OutDoors]

Oh no we don't have to worry about Snowflakes freaking out around here when your shooting you guns. 99% of the people in are area have guns in there house and carry.

Man That reminds me of a muzzle loader that my grandfather made for my dad years ago. He had a friend make the barrel and he made the stock. It was a 50 caliber if I remember correctly. I wish i had that skill. Love the video man keep them coming. Have a great day .

[@GO_OutDoors]

Thanks. This is a kit gun from back in the 70s and is a 45 caliber. I never built one myself but want to.

[@Boone-ku5wk]

I have a 50 cal. Frontier Flintlock rifle. I shoot #6 shot 70 to 90 grains of 2F black powder. 20 to 30 yards at the most. I use the same volume of shot per volume of powder.

[@GO_OutDoors]

Good info! Thanks!

[@unpavedexplorer338]

Hello G.O., very interesting. Take Care and Keep Exploring The Outdoors.

[@GO_OutDoors]

Thanks, you too!

[@MawMawMelsCrissCrossDreams]

Came over from big Matt. Looking forward to more videos from your site

[@GO_OutDoors]

thank you for stopping by. I try and put a video out at least once a week.

[@maddog45auto66]

You gotta try 40 grains of powder 40 grains of cornmeal.Then you're shot and then a Overshaw wad try that.

[@GO_OutDoors]

I will have to give that a try! Thanks for the tip!

[@Outdooracademe1]

Good luck out there Greg.

[@GO_OutDoors]

Thank You Irene!!

[@DanielSturge]

Interesting! Not a bad alternative

[@GO_OutDoors]

Yes and I don't see any video's on this on CZcams!

[@Plain-Ole-Chuck]

I would have sworn the wad would have been the ticket. although I like the idea of the paper better... very surprising. May have to work up a load for my .50's

[@GO_OutDoors]

Yes i was thinking the wad would have been the way to go. I thought of trying my 50 cal

[@erickschmidt432]

I shoot number 6 shot out of my 60 caliber. 70 grns 3f and same amount of shot. With a card wad over the powder then a thin card on top of the shot. Shoots good to 20 yards.

[@GO_OutDoors]

I haven't tried it with my 50 cal yet but it does work good

[@stephencarmichael5156]

great yard testing for a one gun to do it all event.

[@GO_OutDoors]

that is what I was going for one gun does all!

Cool!

[@GO_OutDoors]

thanks brother.

[@jeffjackson5331]

@@GO_OutDoors you are very welcome!

[@jerrysanders2214]

Pretty good patterning. What did you use to make your paper cartridges and what weight would you estimate the shot load? Keep having fun.

[@GO_OutDoors]

I just used a wood dowl that would fit down the barrel. I used #7 shot and have no idea on the weight. I guess I will make another video and try different shot size and weight's. Thanks for watching.

[@trapperjoeoutdoors_coyotetrap]

Awesome video subscribed!!!

[@GO_OutDoors]

Thanks for the sub! I will be checking out your channel also!

[@tomritter493]

Nice patterns way over pressure but that first one was great

[@GO_OutDoors]

Yes it was! Its seems to do good.

[@Dunlap-uj5zl]

👍

[@GO_OutDoors]

Thanks again.

[@BenjaminISmith]

So would you say shooting shot out of a rifled barrel damages the bore?

[@GO_OutDoors]

I would say if it was lead shot no but steel shot yes maybe. It also depends on how deep the rifling is. If the rifling is beep you would not get a good tight pattern with loose shot down the barrel. But using a wad to contain the shot like I did no problem. Thanks for the Great question.

I’m trying a 410 shotcup with bbs.
