After the lackluster results yesterday with the 50's I took the .54 out for a shoot. I had an old shirt hanging in the closet and thought to myself. Hmmmm patches.....

So I cut a couple strips off it and got the bear grease out of the freezer. I lubed up the material and headed for the pit.

The patch .014/ ball .535 combiination loaded easily.
Set up a target at 30 yds and fired my first shot from a clean barrel. I didn't even swab the oil out of it.



Happy with those results I moved the target out to 50 yds let another 5 shots go.



This is looking promising.

The patches survived but I don't think they will take any more powder. The white patch was a cleaning patch that I ran down after I was done shooting. I did not swab at all today. There was hardly any fouling. I think I'm going to like this bear grease thing.
