Well I managed to take one shot with my New T/C New Englander. I used70grns of pyrodex with a .530RB and a .10 patch. The patches are some what old but still seem greasy.Thepatch and ball went down the bore with ease, should it be snug?I am new to this RB shooting but after the shot the patch was burnt right through. Is this good or bad? When the snow melts I will be able to get to the range to shootmore but not going to happen now.
