Hi, I'm still new to the dirty fun that is BP firearm ownership & wanted to know if anyone has also had this problem.
When I started shooting my Pietta Rem 1858 I used Crisco on top of the ball. I was pleased with the results, with a fair bit of power & it was quite accurate. I then started using Wonderwads & noticed an immediate change. POI is low & to the left & felt recoil is noticably lower. There's also a slight increase in smoke.
I use the same powder, load & ball on each occasion. This effect is also apparent on my latest addition, a Pietta Colt 1860. I hope to try my Uberti Walker Colt this weekend, my guess is it will do the same.
Any ideas
