Default 50/50 mix Round Ball results

I got to try some 50/50 mixed round balls today at 50 yards. SUPER happy with the accuracy!

I used 80gr Pyrodex P, .020" patch lubed with Frontier's Shoot Out! lube.

50 yards I put 3 shots touching. I will have to adjust a wee bit to the right, but first I will try my anti-rust hunting lube before making adjustments.

I even had the old man out there and my brother with his 54 Hawken. Everyone was ready to shoot!

I mostly wanted to see how my dad did with the St.Louis Hawken as I've planned on getting him a new sidelock. After all the shooting he mentioned his shoulder was sore. I agree, even my shoulder is sore lol. We emptied my powder horn, so that was a ton of shooting today.


Now, its time to clean, one rifle at a time.

Next balls up will be balls that I cast the other day with 75% soft lead.
