Had an hour to spare, so I drove up the hill to a shooting spot and set up at 50 yards. I shot both .495" balls (picture) from my Green Mountain mould, and .490" from a Lee 6 cave mould. Patch was .020 linen lubed with a mixture of beeswax, coconut oil, and Crisco. 80 grains of Goex FFFg was used throughout, and I wiped between shots. All shots except those used for busting some clays from 30 yards offhand were fired from shooting sticks. Quick but fun and encouraging.

good shooting
Will say, that in spite of the accuracy, the condition of the patches was a little disconcerting. Not going to obsess if I continue to get this kind of results, but something I will contemplate a little.
