    RB size for a 69 Cal. Smoothbore

    I have heard this also about a bare ball with a thin top card, but being a newbie at smoothbores and leery of putting wads ahead of a single projectile I have not tried it. Any other comments or contributions on "bare balls" - on topic of course :nono: :grin: - would be appreciated!

    69 caliber

    Another Missouri old coot

    I remember years ago while obsessively working up smokeless loads for my latest scope mounted maxi blaster seeing a few old coots at the far end of the range dinking around with nasty old smokepoles, hardly getting any shooting done it seemed at the time. Now I am one! I've been dinking around...
