Load work up

[Plastikosmd]

Working towards my load for my Morris 45. Underhammer, about 50 lbs, open/redfield sights. Was a bit gusty. Always a challenge w wind and open sights. Groups need to be repeated as there is so much variability but I am getting there. Shooting at 100 yards today.
Bottom row
First I varied the charge again and 85g did the best, I had already worked to 90g being close. Bottom left to right is 6 shot(12oclock hole is fouler) so group was around .5-.75" 5 shot, then 90g it opened up a bit, bit more at 95.

I also varied the ball size today. Top row,left to right is .451 .454, .457 all on Teflon 0.015. .451 did best.(same ball in charge group shots) threw one to 3 o'clock on the .451 group, other 4 are in pretty tight

Thx!

Bottom targets I had moved it a click or 2 over to the right. The sights swap from this onto any of the 4 other barrels. No matter what barrel I use they all will hit on the 12" circle at 100, just a slightly different spot
