.40cal Flintlock Squirrel Rifle

roundball,

Good post! It seems you are ready for squirrel season this Fall.

I have been pretty busy bailing hay (117 round bales) and cutting 4 cords of firewood for this Winter. I use my .45 T/C Hawken stock and a T. Mansfield smoothbore .50 caliber barrel and shot loads for squirrels. I also use the smoothbore for rabbits and grouse, since all the seasons run together here in October.

I saw several turkey hens and their broods in the hayfield just last evening. I need to get busy and cast up a bunch of projectiles while the weather is nice. Be well.
