TC 50 caliber 1:66:round ball load recommendation

I would also check the wedge key for snugness. A loose wedge will make accuracy a sometimes thing.

These are pretty good looking fired patches from my rifle. I most often patch with heavy canvas (.024") and they can be reused as well.

Moved up to non-lubed .18 patches and 80 grain FFG, everything started to dial it, thanks for input.

So no lube , just a dry patch ? Not even wet with spit ?

Spit patch, no lube (bore butter, bear grease). I'm thinking the 1:48 barrels are a little more forgiving for people like me. But the 1:66 is touching holes now at 50 yards, just makes loading more of a procedure.

I was going to relate the dramas with.my 36 Seneca, Jemima, but sounds like you've sorted it

K...........Look at your fired patches. You got any cutting? Could be your crown is sharp. I shot 80 Gr. FFFG for years. If you use grease lube, scrape all excess grease from the patch before loading.
