I got her out to 100 yards today with 80gr 3f American Pioneer, .018" patches and .490" homemade round balls. First shot was awesome " right under the bulls eye" but that funky APP always does that on a clean bore. Next 2 shots were AMAZING accuracy wise but low on a dirty bore. Those 2 shots were just slightly under 1" apart.


The other night i ran 110 passes with jb bore paste and today i had zero issues with my patches tearing. I think the barrel just hasn't been shot that much and had sharp rifling that was slicing my patches in half.
