    Using wads under ball/bullet.

    I've had both a TC Hawkin 54 percussion and a hand made Isaac Haines reproduction in 54 cal. Fired both with and without a wonderlube type of patch between the ball and the charge. Chronograph showed an increase of 100fps with the patch and totally different points of impact with both guns...
