It was the Army's turn today. Been a while as there is such a thing as too many guns.
Was equipped with .457 wads, pyrodex and both the 1/8" and doublethick BigIron wads with Gatofeo lube. Charge of 30 grains produced about 50 fps more velocity with these wads than a similar load on a different day. this may or may not be significant and the differences shown below for the small count averages may or may not mean anything either.
Barrel went uncleaned throughout a morning's shoot with no accumulation of fouling in the bore. The visible residue wipes out with one sweep of a cleaning patch.
