Steve-

Thanks for sharing the 'ballistic report' and the excellent photo from your hunt!

Great looking fallow deer, and what a fine account of what your flintlock is capable of.
At 1200fpsMV the ball hit the deer at about 1000fps, with about 740ft/lbs energy, enough to run end for end without blowing the animal (and your good meat!) to pieces.

Hopefully today I'll get a couple of hours in the machine shop to complete a couple more tools for the Purdey.
I want to have a range kit (suitable for carry in the case) that'll handle resizing, seating, and crimping for the next day of shooting.
Also, I need to finish up the set of cases I've been making from the Magtech 20b central fire brass.

Much to do, and much to distract me from getting this rifle running.

If you can find the time and the files, show us your Snider Sporter!
You have hunted with it too, haven't you..?
