Not doubting you but how can anyone be an anti-muzzleloader? These days, people need some sort of bandwagon to jump on!

How?
When they're jerking around so much they can't get their scoped bolt action sighted in and you're cutting clover leafs!

Seeing the deep lube grooves on those bullets - they are just begging for a trip through a lubriszer and getting injected with a 50-50 beeswax,
I'll bet that would really help the velocity and the cleanup after the days shooting is done.

They are out there. I have run across several individuals (not range employees) that just couldn't understand why I wanted to shoot "those dirty outdated guns".

.400/.408”? Thinking about sending an 1862 Navy John Taylor’s way.

I’ve been using @idaholewis’ Stihl HP/SPG magical no lead blend for about 6 months now. I add olive oil for a lighter lube, more in winter, barely any in summer.

Never occurred to me that the smoke would be a problem and it wasn't for me. About 10 ft. away from my chrono.

That might take a bite out of your velocity, not to mention the pieces of plywood crashing your chrono. Just put the chrono 10 ft. away and the smoke shouldn't be a problem.

Might try a few of those .410 Svarog slugs. Use a hard .135" card under it. I know they work in a .41 unmentionable because I've done it. Would post a picture but might get in trouble for being too far off topic.

Not sure but I believe he shoots through a pre-existing hole cut in the plywood. I have done similar with a piece of cardboard after a wad from a .54 smacked the screen on my F1 Chrony. The company graciously repaired my Chrony and only charged me for shipping.

Aha! That makes a little more sense. Or, as Gilda Radner used to say as the granny commenting on the news on the old SNL, "Never Mind!"

The chambers on that piece are .412" diameter.
The hind end of the bullets are sized .411".

My ol' standby is LOOB (lanolin, olive oil and beeswax).
