Funny. The way just overshot cards pattern.. I kept adding a wool just because I figured it had to be good.

I could try real better buffer that I thought I needed..

The 🐦 cyl bore.. pattern is good.

Choked .675. on 🦃 that's it.. like boring.. 4 overshot and I did bump the load up.. 1.5oz 75grn.


Other that seeing 4 overshot work good in the improved cyl barrel. And probably good for a 35 maybe 40 yard 🐦‍⬛ that's far.

And there is no way that cyl bore is choking a pattern like that TC.

Done i guess.... oh well..

Better powder.. need that.

those cci musket caps do not work with pyrodex..

The rws from 20 years ago old.. sends it everytime.

The target on the right was the original fiber wool wad load.

It wasn't bad But I like the overshot cards.

It was easyer and more solid to glue up a paper ball like that and press it in there.

Cut to length and went with 4 slits.

It's something to shoot and try. They look cool but buying them plastic ones is probably better?
