This three-shot group was fired at 100 yards on 3 SEPT 04 using home-cast 230-grain .45 caliber Maxiballs (TC mould) and 90 grains "striken measure" 777 FFg powder. Win. 209 primer in a Wm. Large-barreled Hawken rifle, 1/72" round-ball twist, with a Wonderwad under the bullet. The old-time Schuetzen and bench-rest ML rifle shooters used powder measures, despite the fact that many of them owned or had access to, precision laboratory balances. Many of the groups they shot have yet to be equalled by any BP rifle in modern times. Just take a look at
Ned Roberts' book, THE MUZZLELOADIONG CAPLOCK RIFLE!!
