Made it out to Shoot
Here is the latest Picture of targets I shot with my blue ridge underhammer. I am using.
Just got the sights I wanted put on it, they are in a earlier blog post.
At 25 yards on the bench was officially sighting it in. Next time I go out will shoot at 50 yards and see how my groups hold up.
80 FFF Goex powder
.490 round ball
Pillow Ticking cut and the muzzle patches lubes with Bore Butter
Out shooing this time I didn't Swab between shots because I never had any problems loading
Here are the pictures.

New Sights on Underhammer
Finally Got my sights figured out on my Underhammer. Here are pictures will post pictures of targets I shoot with them.
Here is the front sight
Its a white Ivory Bead
I used an old brass sight to fill in where the rear sight would have been since I am just using a peep sight on it. I still need to polish around the area and clean it up a bit.
And Here is my Lyman 57 peep Sight

Cheap Targets
I don't know if you have noticed yet or not but I have been making my targets out of printer or drawing papers. Use a ruler and a large permanent marker and draw an x or cross. You can also get some sticky targets and put them on a paper. I started doing this because targets are so expensive and when you are trying out loads you only want to show 5-10 shots at a target so you are going to go threw a lot of targets this was the cheapest thing I could think up.
Targets!!
Here are the different ideas. sticky target, printer paper, drawing paper

Handy Little Lights
I carry these hand little nock lights or you can find some similar that are for fishing bobbers. They are handy because you can drop them down the barrel and look down it and see how clean it is and rifling. Want to make a note here that you should only do this if you know for sure the gun is unloaded. Safety first, drop down a ram rod if it pings then your good to go. Also good if your going to a gun show you can check out the barrel to see if its was cleaned properly, check rifling, how many groves, anything you want to. Make you know more about the gun your buying.
They come in different colors here they are.
This one is turned on
Its hard to take a picture but you can see the rifling and if its pitted or not ect. i person with these handy little lights.
All this picture shows is they do put off good light down the barrel and you can see down it.
