Stupid question.....I have never fired my rifle with just powder.....what can I expect?
If you have no wads, shove a cotton patch down on top of the powder before you shoot it. What you get is a BOOM! some smoke and noise. The more powder the more BOOM and smoke.
Thanks cayugad for the above suggestion. I did shoot 30g of 777 and a patch to foul my barrel. Just as you said, BOOM smoke and a patch on fire came out the barrel. The range was full and I think they thought I was nuts! They didnt put me in time out though!
