    Red Flecks in powder residue

    Funny this is brought up..... I was shooting my boys mini-leman .45 the other day,trying to find a real good load for it. When i was shooting real low charges,30-35 grs,i had real bad black heavy fouling.Once i got up above 50 grs,the fouling was so much less that it was amazing. Higher...

    I use a lee .311 ball with .018 pocket drill. Perfect tight fit.stiff start with the short starter,then slides down easily.

    .32 buckshot size/patch?

    Buy yourself a lee .311 double cavity. Hardly any sprue on the ball,and very accurate.

    follow up on the lehigh thread

    Shot one of my .50,s today with the 6/1 ballistol/water patches.As with the .32 i shot some very small groups.But, i encountered very bad powder fouling with the .50,that i didnt experience with the .32 a few days ago. I loaded it the same technique, i dry swabbed the bore in between shots, and...

    I think my hunt for lehigh lube is over!!

    Ill probally never bother to scope any of my smokers, it just that i have shot centerfire benchrest for years,and have looked threw 36x scopes for thousands of shots. When i see a gun start shooting multiple shots in the same slot in the paper,i get VERY intrested! :grin:

    I think my hunt for lehigh lube is over!!

    Oh, dont get me wrong,I think scopes are totally wrong on a traditional cap gun.I just thik it would be neat to build a base like a clamp,and put a 36x scope on my smoke guns, just to see what they are capable of.I have a investarms .50 that shoots as good as this .32,maybe better,but i have...

    I think my hunt for lehigh lube is over!!

    This little gun shoots so well,that id like to somehow put a scope on it,just to see how good it really shoots! With its 24 inch barrel,there is only about 15-16 inches between the sights,,,lots of room for aiming era being this short.I dry patched between each shot,and it never seemed to get...
