Just finished a new hunting pouch (dyed with vinegaroon) for my original circa 1850 percussion combination gun. 51 calibre/ 20 bore. Original unmarked flask. Annual spring break hog hunt in a couple of weeks! ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/jS7HV2vX/38-DE624-A-D3-E3-4-A11-B1-C7-7061807-B2-F3-D.jpg)

Looks great Bob! Color me jealous! 😬
I’ve killed quite a few hogs with my 54 cal TC Hawken at the Ranch over the years.
Nothing like the smell of real Black Powder burning at the time of ignition!

Therein lies a well nigh perfect hunting combo! Out of curiosity have you targeted it with ball in the smoothbore barrel?

Almost dead on at 50 yds with a .600RB, 70 grains FFFG, and .010" patch. Maybe just a tad low. Rifle barrel = .500 RB, same 70 grains, and .015" patch. Deadly at 50! Just a bit high. But Hold at 6 O’ clock and It will make pork!
