It seems like every time I post on here that I am going to the range I wind up not making it there. Here goes anyway. I have a strong desire to shoot some fff out of a side lock and I still need to try to get my .54 caliber Traditions Deerhunter rifle to shoot round balls. My plan is to try some patches I cut up out of blue jeans to see if I can get the .530 caliber round ball to fit tighter into the bore. If that doesn't work I'll have to find some .535 caliber balls somewhere. If I make it to the range I'll post the results tomorrow.
