At first glance there are things to consider. Like choosing Not to reload later in the day. That i hadn't ever thought of. With a modern 12 or 20 Guage one would simply walk to your vehicle and unload the cartridges to make Safe for the ride Home. I learned some things and enjoyed your video. Best Wishes from Montana!
I'm inspired! Thanks for sharing your hunt with us. I reload 12 gauge hulls with Pyrodex and shot for my old break action shotgun. I recently got some "permanent" all brass casings from MagTech and have a few of them loded up too. I'm off to get some small game with those Monday. One of these days, I'll get my flintlock operating and then have some real fun. Thanks again for letting me tag along.
I had issues with donut patterns when loading with the nitro card fiber wad and then shot. I resolved this by adding an overshot card between cushion wad and shot. You may not be experiencing this as I was. Just thought I would let you know in case you run across some one that is you may pass the information. You may want to try it. It greatly increased my pattern density. I know for me with a cylinder bore I need all the help I can get. I have taken quite a few squirrels with mine since swapping to this technique. Hope you find some good in this. Great Video
I have been having some good success with powder, over powder wad, felt wad, over powder wad then shot and over shot card. The wad seems to provide a cushion of sorts. Patterns have tightened up quite a bit without the hole.
Great video dude but at a glance you look exactly like sage smoke survival, I thought he had finally made his way into the 18th century hahaha... beautiful smooth bore by the way. 🤙🤙
Back home I have to wear it still and I did on part of this trip. Depended where we were. I usually wear a large neckerchief draped over my shoulder like a small cape
Thanks for sharing but I have been researching this for several years. I admit some might not be perfect. I never said that it was. And without a reference to what you are talking about I can’t really say 🤷🏻♂️
I sewed them myself. The green one is called a “jacket” or “ sleeved waist coat,“. Originals were a bit snug or fitting. I lost a little weight so it’s a little loose on me.

Thanks for the tips. I have the same problem at times . Seems like it got better when I increased the powder amount a little

Hi! No I haven’t. I’ve just been too busy to make videos. Was fun to get out again and do some hunting/filming
Nice and cool hunting. what is your pet hunting load with your 62cal smoothbore...?
Hi! For larger small game I’ve been loading 70gr of 3f goex black powder, with 1 -1/8 oz of 7 shot.

Hunting on conservation grounds or private? I am also from central Missouri.
A little of both. The rabbits taken were on private
Very cool 🇺🇸 🇳🇿

Hey Josh how'd da leaf taste 😅 sorry . Great video guys !

Great video! It must be nice not to wear the hunter orange when hunting.

Who made your smoothbore?
I don’t know who made this one. I bought it from a friend who bought it from a friend etc.. I have another one that I made from a kit
You said you were hunting in 18th century clothing you're wearing more 19th century clothing then you are 18th century just saying

Could you give a resource where to purchase your buff and green wool hunting jackets. I like that style a lot

Great job on those. Very nice.
