Leave it to him to get me thinking again. (and that's dangerous in itself!) Now he has me wondering what heavier charges will do to the accuracy of my .32 T/C Cherokee. So it looks like I will be taking her out tomorrow morning before it gets too hot and start with 25 gr FFFg and work up groups in 5 gr increments.
Then I want to try out a new lube concoction that me and Cayugad chatted about offline. (1 oz beeswax, 100 gr alox, 3 1/2 oz of olive oil). It has good consistancy in the 75* temp in the house. But I/we want to see how it acts in 80+ temps. I have 10 370 gr .50 cal Maxiballs lubed up and the can of lube will sit on my truck's tailgate until they are shot. That should give me a pretty good idea. Will fill you all in with the results.

A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take away everything you have.
I'm not as good as I'm gonna get - but I'm better than I used to be. "Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point."
While you're at it Bronko, go all the way and try Liquid Wrench for a patch lube (very light application).

Maybe next time Semi. Don't want to change too many vaiables at once. Have to be scientific you know. I have a baseline with Ox Yoke .015" patches. So I am going to try and see if I can use pillow ticking lubed with OO.Hopefully I can get the .310 balls down the bore.

It greatly eases loading of a patch and ball, as does a touch of 400 or 600 grit Emery paper at the muzzle.
