Thanks guys,
Jaybe: here are the answers to your questions and thanks again for the help
1. What kind of powder were you using and how much?
100 Grains of 777 (2 pellets)
2. What is your bullet?
Powerbelt .50 CALIBER / 295 GRAIN / AEROTIP COPPER
3. Can you visually inspect the area and see that the bore is completely clean after you swab it?
All is clean except for the area between the breach plug and about 5 inches up. and as far as the bullet going in easy, it is one of the easiest loading bullets I have ever used except when it gets to the last 5 inches.
Yes I have a witness mark on my ramrod. I did that with the first shot ever shot out of the gun and the only way i can get it back to that point is with somepursuading with a hammer on the end of my ramrod. ( iam not banging it like a nail mind you but i do have to do a little more then tap it.)
Again thanks a lot for the help.
