Hi all,
I got out for some range fun yesterday. I was shooting a .50 cal Kentucky rifle using a .49 ball over 65 grains of Goex FFF. I've been messing around with patch thickness a bit. I like using a .01 patch for loading ease. If I use a .015 patch I have to pretty much clean the barrel after every shot to be able to load the next.
Just not sure if a .01 patch is thick enough for good results. How do they look to you?
Here my target at 100 yards. I've realized making a good group at 100 yards is beyond my aiming ability with open sights. I was just happy to actually hit near the center.
