I'm new to cap and ball and am wondering how the depth of the ball in the cylinder affects accuracy.
I am shooting an 1858 Remmington target [pietta] 27 grains Goex, .451 balls and no wads or fillers. accuracy is fair, but it could be better.
At 27 grains the ball goes quite deep in the cylinder. When the .451's are gone, will use the .454's
Should I be using wads to space the ball closer to the forcing cone?
