On cayugad's advise, Ifired a 50g pellet and cleaning patch to foul the barrel. I must say the guys on the bench next to me thought I was nuts. Anyway, would this technique work with loose or do I need to keep some pellets nearby for the fouling shot?
To fowl with loose powder is easy. Dump 30 grains of loose down the bore and put a wad on top of the loose powder (or even push a patch or two into the barrel and push them down on theload) and fire it. That will fowl the barrel for you.
