onefunzr2Mortimer flintlock by Davide Pedersoli. Model S.239 Mine is the target style with tang peep sight in 54 caliber. It shoots 2" groups @ 100 yards with my own home cast round balls. Someone younger with better eyesight could probably do even better.

Fred6604Thanks onefunzr2
I will have look at the Pedersoli.
I currently own a Lyman Trade in .54 and it shoots a Lyman plains bullet with a grouping of 1 1/2" at 100 yards.
I want to improve on this accuracy. I have done all to improve the Lyman. I swab between shot, premeasure all my bullets and measure my powder very accurately. Seat each with same approx. pressure. I want to use the new Black powder for long distance shooting.
Thanks
