I shoulda been more clear it’s not the greasy lubed so much but ones with a lot of wax in them. In my .50 it isn’t such a big deal but the little .32 is a bear to clean wax build up out of the barrel. They don’t make a .32 brush that I have found that fits. There all just a little too big, they...

Trigger is very good, double triggers with set trigger set to where I like it. The fred bear is a different approach that I’ll for sure keep in mind

Srry I tried but my phone won’t take pics like your does. You must have the latest wizz banger out there. Tried to upload a video and it won’t do that either. My crown has a very small lead in. Nothing like what yours has. There appears to be no burs or damage that I can detect on the borescope...

I just mixed up a quick batch of stumpy’s moose snot. I had to substitute the caster for canola oil. I’ll try that tomorrow and see how it works

no nobody else has shot it but I’m positive it’s not me, the thing shoots like a 22lr. As far as for the gun fits me really well, better than most I’ve had.

Really didn’t want to use anything waxy, makes for long clean up for me. I tried veggi oil and no luck. Also wonderlube with no luck there either. I have Thompson center stuff like bore butter but I don’t like that stuff except for wiping my barrels on the outside and My stock. I was pondering...

Won’t petroleum jelly turn into a black goo??? I had that happen once when I accidentally bought felt for wads that wasn’t real felt. I NEVER want to have to clean a mess like that up again.

Well the results are in, Ballistol and water mix “dry” didn’t work. Here are the two targets I tried. There kind of hard to interpret but I used shapes to show groups. I tried everything from 15 to 45 grains. Seems like the 40 and 45 grains grouped the most consistently. I got about 30 shots in...

Hopefully headed to the range tomorrow, will post results. One thing I did do was I took the brass pieces out of my ball started because they were too big even though it’s sold for .32. The small end measured .310 and the long piece measured .308 dia. No wonder I always had a heck of a time...

Tried the ball and it pops right in the front of the barrel with just a little effort. A lot better than before and the fit seems to be good. Won’t know till I can hit the range later this week. I mixed up 7:1 Ballistol and water to try the fry patch thing. If I can get to the range I’ll post...

Yea I found mattress ticking but it didn’t seem right it was really loose feeling. I did snag .310 balls from a lgs, he never carried them before so I got really lucky. My pillow ticking after wash is almost .020 but compressed it’s .015. I was going to try a mixture of Ballistol and water...

I will try then to get pics, I did make a error I thought I had .310 size balls and well I went to test out my pillow ticking and the balls refuse to start. They actually deformed trying to start but one did pop in but was really deformed. I micd them and the measure .317. I also thought I...

I’ll have to look but I checked the crown before and didn’t see anything abnormal. Actually that barrel from the Pedersoli is the best barrel I have seen from any maker for quiet a few years.

I went to Joanns today and only found 2 options. They had pillow ticking and mattress ticking. The mattress ticking measured at .015 but felt like it had a loose weave. The pillow ticking measured at .018 but was really stiff and had a tight weave. I thought .018 would be to thick until I...

Yes I’m using a short starter, there hard to start then after they slide just ever so snug down the barrel. The recovered patches didn’t show any holes or tears in them. I’m going tomorrow to Jo-Ann’s to buy pillow ticking. I just don’t know what lube to use. I really don’t want to have to order...

I am using a .310 ball and .010 patch. I did find some .50 cal pillow ticking patches I will try. I’ll just cut off the excess after starting the ball. The lube appears to be old on thoes so I’ll try adding some bore butter to the patches. Hopefully it helps, I’ll try again tomorrow.

Yes, I was shooting off a solid bench on sand bags. I tried just seating a patch over the ball but it didn’t make any difference. Fired patches look good, a lot better with a wad behind it. I do recall patches being ripped when no wad was used. I am just at my wits end and frustrated. My Lyman...

I need help with my .32 cal, it seems like nothing I try helps with accuracy. I have tried everything from 15 to 40 grains and i can’t get smaller than 3 inch group at 50 yards. I am using 2F Goex it’s the only pound I found last year, I wanted 3F but nobody had any. I am using .010 patches both...

Making them will give me a project to work on, plus I am always looking for an excuse to fire up the Delta Rockwell 11. I guess I’ll make a .375 diameter punch. Rifle season here put a hold on the project for a couple weeks.

I tried them before and my groups got noticeably tighter. I also am trying to get less fouling and to protect the powder while hunting when it may be loaded for a few days. I tried .010 patches and they were getting burn holes and a few were shredded. I have 0.015 patches to try but haven’t...
