After spending the past week reading till I had a headach I still haven't got the info I really need(want?).
I know to patch a roundball. Lubed would be good. But after the powder charge I want to use a lubed maxie, do I use a patch, a lubed wad or what? Hows about the minnies? lubed patch? wonderwad? Right now I am really cornfused on this and could use some help.
I just ordered a Cabela's Hawken .50 cal and am hoping to get out tuesday or wednesday to burn some powder.This will be an ornamental/ hunting rifle for me so I am looking at what will work in the 50 to 100 yrd range. I am still finding things here that are a wonder at help but the patchedball, minie, maxie and sabot question has me twisted in nineteen places.
BTW- This place has ALL the other info spots on the web beat hands down! Thanks for being here!!
