Thats right. I went to the range, no problems surfaced, I had a blast, and shot a 1 1/2" 3shot group. Now what?
I'm shooting a 50cal Hawken type rifle. 1-48" twist.
I fired a PRB over 60gr of FFF Triple7 with a 010 patch.
Is there a reason to load more powder?
I know a 015 patch is more traditional, should I be doing that?
Should I try the FF Shockeys Gold I have?
This is all leading to a blackpowder deer hunt in three weeks. Is the load I have sufficient? Should I just fine tune my shooting skills?
I've got some Conicals and some new nipples coming, I'll have to give them a try.
I cleaned the gun with windshield washer fluid and alcohol then bore buttered it up. Is that enough?
I know there are a lot of questions but what the heck.
