Klaus,
Welcome to the forum!  Nice shooting from the offhand position!

My apologies for not going into a bit more detail about the load that UMC made.
http://www.cascity.com/forumhall/index.php/topic,52963.0.html

I had casually mentioned that UMC would have used a wad..... based on my making and shooting some of these cartridges the wad thickness would likely have been at least 3/16" (5mm) thick. They likely would have compressed the powder charge a bit first or compressed it with the wad in place. Hard to say.

Anyway, as I mentioned, I used PSB (Poly Shot Buffer) to fill the space between the powder and the bullet since I do not have wads of the proper thickness.  Cream of Wheat or Corn Meal would likely work as well.

I found that historic loading when assembled as above, would produce groups at 100 yards in the 2-3" range from the bench.  

Have fun!

thx fror your welcome and for your advise

well this load show very promises, 15 Shots  in a short time  with this result is ok
next time i l load with a grease cookiie between  card/ paper wad.

have run some trials with KIK and Swiss Powder 30 - 35 grs in the past  all with good success but the bore had fouling  much  more after  10 shots as with this present 28 grs load.
