I bought my Dixie (Pedersoli) Jaeger a few months ago and had some   troubles at first with my first flintlock, but with advise from some of   you here and lots of shooting, things have really turned around. I also   learned how important a good sharp flint is, I switched to Rich Pierce   flints and and learned how much 4F to prime the pan with and The  delayed  ignition is gone. just one big boom now.   Shootin a Flintlock  was a little rough at first but boy I'm sure  getting to really like it,  I can't seem to remember where I put my cap  guns.  Went to the range  today and started out at 25 yards and ended at 50, I shot over 20 rounds  with out a misfire   that was a first for me. Here's my last 5 shots at  50 yards using a bench rest. I need to tinker with the sites just a  tad.
