UPDATE:
I ordered some ,690 and .735 balls this week, we'll give both a try and go from there. If the .735's work better I'll use the .690's to make preloaded cartridges for a 'rainy day'.
I got out to the range and put a few rounds through it this afternoon. It came with a pouch of .735 balls to I tried it out with 90 grains of 2F and wadding made from of all things some printer paper I happened to have on hand in the truck. Wadded up a quarter sheet, ball, another wadded up quarter sheet and rammed it home. First shot was at a full sized IPSC steel target made of 3/8" AR500 set up at 25 yards. Hit was low but sounded like an angry gorilla hit it with a 12 pound sledgehammer. Fired a second round at another IPSC set up at 50, rang it there, too. I was 2 for 3 with the next shots taken at 50 before I put it away. This thing's gonna be fun to play with.
