I posted this on leverguns too but my wife filmed me shooting my flinter today in a howling gale!

Nath.

At least there was no snow on the ground. Bet you had fun....

Nath.

I have a Jackie Brown 75cal "canoe gun" that is quite handy.

Hey John that looks very nice!

In the vid I used a stout charge of 3f...115grains! Strong yes but it seems to want to group on that! It was a guess actually, just one and a half powder measures, you can see the measure hanging from my bags strap. More accurate charges next time starting at 90grn.
I knapped some poor flint and have some odd looking shapes but they work!
I reworked the frizzen recently and hardened it with coal, charcoal and leather!

Best wishes.

Well Nath
I told you that you would have fun here.
