Well I picked up my new flinter last week! It is a colonial Va made my Cabincreek, Brad Emig. It has a 42in 54 cal colerain tapered barrell that is coned. The stock is presentation grade curly maple. My initials are inlayed in silver on the wrist. The card is from saturday, shot during the woods walk at the lancaster longrifles rondevous. Didn't get the point b/c the card was not completly cut.

[Ron pa]

Oh yeah, that`ll work!! Very nice Flinter. Do you have a name picked out for Her yet??

 

[brewyak]

no name for it yet. I know that it will come to me soon. It sure is fun to shoot, probably have 50 shots or so through it. Glad I just picked up a couple pounds of powder to burn.

Shes purty, whatever her name is

 

[long hunter]

You cant just pick a rifle up and slap a name on em. They have to be used and aquire a name.

That is, indeed, a very fine looking rifle! Best of luck and best wishes for many, many years of enjoyment! There is something very, very special about sitting quietly in a grove of hemlocks and oaks, waiting for a whitetail, and clinging to such a rifle! Enjoy!

Beautiful gun there Brewyak!!

I knew that when you were first lookin & asked me for input bout my Brad Emig built PA Mountain Rifle that you would be 100% pleased if you went with him!!

 

[brewyak]

I agree with Longhunter, the name will come in time. Currently I am learning her ways. Tommorrow hopefully I will get to know her a little better. Going to give that swiss a shot.

Hey Brew ,I would reduce the charge about 20gr to start out with then work back up till you get same POI. You will probably end up at 10 to 15gr less of Swiss.

In my .62 it was 20gr less for the same poi at 100yds with the same accuracy and cleaner burning.

 

[Big Redneck]

That is one sweet looking rifle

Enjoy.

 

[brewyak]

Thanks long that is sort of what I was going to do, but might go with 50yds then work my way to 100

The swiss powder shot well yesterday, it did like 70grains will keep working with her. I can't believe how clean it shoots, it is night and day compaired to the goex

Amen brewyak!!

I went to Swiss Black Powder about 5-6 years ago & will never again shoot Goex. Swiss is much cleaner, a more consistent granualation plus you can back off load approx 10% vs comparable Goex load.

WOW!!! Fantastic looking wood!

 

[brewyak]

yeah I have heard that before. Once you go swiss you won't go back.
