RE: What do you do?
I keep experimenting...I have one inline, a Knight Disc and I bet I have shot it 4-500 times...I have tried about8-10 different bullets, various sabots, powder charges, different powdersand have compaired different bullet drop from 50-150 yards...I actually have 2 different loadings that I can use based upon whether I am hunting over a field or in the woods...
I have 2 flintlocks, pretty much the same with them, except I do only shoot home cast balls and only Goex FFF...I have done alot of experimenting with lubes and patching material, enough that I'm convinced that that is the number one reason that some guys can't get a sidelock to group...Some days, I just shoot 5 shot groups with 6-7 different lubes...
With my .54, I've shot from 50-120 grains of powder and out to 150 yards...
With the .40, I've shot from 20-75 grains of powder and also out to 150...
