I took the Navy out today at 20 yards off hand.
25 grains of OE seems to be the perfect load for this little .36
Enclosed is my target.
Whats your favorite load in your navy?
I find excellent accuracy and power with 25 grains OE
Hot dang, that's some fine shooting in my book, better than most of my targets look! (Unless there's about 20 shots that didn't make the paper. ) Is that one handed or two handed shooting there?
I'm guessing that's with round ball? I've always used anywhere from 15-20 grains of OE with round ball, I find 20 to be the best, but maybe I ought to give 25 a chance. I use 17 grains I think with my conical paper cartridges, I'm not sure I could even fit much more than that with those bullets. So far that has been by far and away my best load. In all seriousness, I can usually get most of my shots on paper with the conicals at that range. Round ball is hit or miss (literally) for me unless I move up a little closer.

If you like 30 grains of powder in your navy, try using Pyrodex P. 30 grains easily loads in a 36 and doesn’t deform the ball. It’s more than I prefer, but it is interesting to shoot once in a while. 25 grains is my preferred load.I like chamber full loads (30gr) of 4F with a deformed .380 diam round ball crammed on top. Not very accurate but sure is fun...
Plus it gets some folks panties in a wad.
Now that's a fine looking "London" you got there JCooperfan!! Very nice picture display as well! You must be a professional photographer.
