    First Priming Horn

    8 oz Canvas

    I Micro'ed it at 0.022 to 0.023 on average(50+ measurements). It seems to me as if it is fairly hard to load. I have only loaded a few before this one, but this one is tighter than the others. It seems to shoot really well with this combo, Shot a 5 shoot group at 100 all with in a softball. So I...

    8 oz Canvas

    Does any one use 8 oz canvas for patches? I just got my new 50cal flinter and the guy that made it for me gave me a little bit and said it was 8 oz canvas shooting a 490 round ball. Looked through all the pages it would let me on here and didn't see anything about it. Anybody? Thanks Boswell
