I finally got to shoot my M95 Springfield. I had the main spring reforged, and the cracked cockspur laser welded. 75 degrees, mostly sunny, light breeze. 50 yards standing, no sling, 70gr. 3X powder, 10 rounds .68 ball, no patch, 4X priming powder. I had a little trouble with the priming powder as it is 20 years old and a little humidity had gotten to it. I also fussed with the flint; it worked best with the flat up.

First shot was the 2:00 black. Needless to say, this was exciting.
