Be sure and try them without wads, and maybe steal some cornmeal from the kitchen and try that too.
OK help, what is the purpose of the corn meal? The only reasons I was using the wad is to protect the bottom of the lead bullet from the heat of the 3f load and to prevent the lubricant from the bullet contaminating any of the powder, and I was thinking of this more on the lines of hunting in warmer weather and the fact the gun may stay loaded for long periods of time.
I have to say I was surprised by the velocities... and this chrono has been very consitent and accurate in the past. It was placed 10' off the muzzle.
