Hey guys..
About a year ago I posted a question about my .36..I have tried all suggestions and am back to square 1...
About 3 years ago, I purchased a Blue Ridge .36 from cabelas. For the life of me, I cannot get this thing to group worth a darn (best is 3" @ 25 from a solid rest). I hear all the sucess stories with smallbores and know this cannot be the norm. I own 5 other ballshooters (not smallbores though) and shoot them all very well. I have used pretty much all combinations of components...010, .015, and .017 patches..Speer and Hornady .350 balls, 000 Buckshot..BB, crisco, moose milk, spit for lubes...goex 3f and Pyrodex P..swabbing between shots, and not..and 10-40 grains of powder...you get the idea..Crown looks good, etc.
Someone mentioned the Pedersoli catalog reccommended a .345 Ball and .007 patch. Other than ordering a custom mold, is there any source out there for .345 balls?
thanks fellas..Please help before I wrap this thing around a tree...
