This is a sweet shooting little sidehammer. 30 grains of Triple Seven FFFg and a .315 patched roundball. Kicks about like a 22 mag. It has decent iron sights. At 25 yards today, I clustered 7 shots into a bit over an inch (1 3/16). That's not counting the fouler at lower right. That's ME not having used open sites in a while. The gun will do much better I'm sure. Today was it's maiden voyage. I'm gonna take this gun squirrel hunting in May. Stay tuned for action shots! LOL

Looks good. Shootin' those small caliber sidelocks are a lot of fun. Easy on the shoulder and they don't cost a lot to shoot. Maybe try a couple different patches or go up and down on your charge 5 grains and it might tighten up. Lookin' good though.
