    Wow. What a day.

    This has probably been asked before

    I have left my Lyman GPR charged from the middle of September to the beginning of December and it went off no problem and hit where I was aiming. I usually use Pyrodex. I have not left one charged after firing it. Once fired, if I reload, I empty the gun when I get back to camp or the truck so...

    On the plus side this is a 25 yard pattern using 1 3/8 of #5 bismuth over 89 grains of ffg. A nitro over powder wad and on overshot card.

    Load Shoots to the right

    I expected an elevation change but not the huge windage change. I need to find a way to bring it more center. Going to play with different patch thickness and an over powder card.

    Load Shoots to the right

    So it was very calm and I was on a bench so wind would not have been it. But you are right on with the diameter. So the lead balls are .690. The bismuth are about .694. I used the same .020 patch. It was a much tighter fit. I thought that was a good thing but maybe not.

    Load Shoots to the right

    I was on a solid bench with sandbags. The different phase of recoil is an interesting thought. So just to add to it a bit more I was shooting with a friend who was shooting a 50 cal flintlock rifle. He was shooting at 100 yards. His lead balls were hitting the bullseye. His bismuth balls were...

    Load Shoots to the right

    I am working on a round ball load for a 12 gauge Fowler. I started with a .690 lead round ball and a .20 patch. At 50 yards the load shoots center but a little low. Then I switched to a .690 round ball cast from bismuth and the same patch. The elevation is about the same but for some reason it...

    Track of the Wolf

    I am good about complaining when a company upsets me but not great about giving credit when it is due. So this is to give Track of the Wolf credit for it customer service. On Dec 1st I ordered some items from TOW. They shipped it on Monday the 4th, and sent me a tracking number. I tracked...
