40 60 shootin day
« on: June 07, 2023, 04:57:16 PM »
 Some surprises. WANO 2ff gives better groups than Swiss 1.5 f and Goex cartridge. WANO fouls just as much, but the fouling stays soft, the other two are dry and crusty enough to cause leading in 5 shots. All powders groups go to hell after two shots....I'm dealing with lube starvation. I'm going to have to get a mold cut with black powder grooves to make this work with black powder. So, off to smokeless next. I'm thinking 20grs of 5477 with a 250gr bullet, and a 270gr bullet. Anybody see any problems with this? Maybe 18grs would be better?  Can't find anything on smokeless loads with those two bullet weights so I'm winging it. :-\.

Mike, did you get that mold cut? When you say WANO, are you meaning Schuetzen?
