Tested more shot in the .58 kibler smoothbore

Well, corn meal seems to work well...first shot was without corn meal 85 grains of my homemade brew thin over powder card "Ritz cracker card" 1 1/4 #6 shot another thin card and a 1/2 well lubed felt wad. Next up was 85 grains of powder, thin card, 1 1/4 #6 shot with 50 grains of corn meal thin card and 1/2 well lubed felt wad. Both shot @ 25 yards. Gong is 8x9. I would say the corn meal is a decent one for hunting. Also a small video of me shooting some steel with 85 grains of powder / .562 ball and a .008 patch with a 1/8 lubed felt wad Patches lookd good!

An .008" patch? What did you use for patch material, I'd love to find something that thin???

I typically check out the remnants cloth pile at the fabric stores. I can usually find some 100% cotton high threads per inch cloth there for dirt cheap. I recently got a couple of pieces 44 inch by 15 inches of 100+ thread count cotton cloth for $1.50 total cost. Looks to be .05 inches thick too. Easy to cut into 1 inch strips.
