I use hornady's .490 dia round balls with a pillow ticking patch over 60 grains loose pyrodex RS and a cci 209 primer in my 50 cal CVA hunterbolt. I havent felt the need to try any other brand since this combination produces 1 inch groups at 50 yards. and 2 inch groups at 100 yards.
That's incredible!
I can understand 2-3" groups at 50 yards using roundball/patch in a fast twist with a light powder charge, but yours is not light (60 grains) - plus your groups are 1".
Your 100 yard groups are phenomenol at 2". I am flabergasted by what you are getting. It blows the whole theory of needing a slow twist barrel& most consistent,real blackpowder right out of the water.
Seriously! You should apply for the Guinness Book Of World Records.
