Will do Chet. Appreciate it. I'll send it back to you, or pass it on to others, whatever you want.

I don't know much about that but I weighed a box of Hornady .490 balls last night. There were only 95 in a new box of 100. They ranged from 177.3 to 178.5 gr. I divided them into 2 groups. I ended up with 42 that were between 177.3 and 177.9 and 53 that were between 178 and 178.5. He thinks you should keep them within 1/2 gr of each other.. For hunting it doesn't really matter. For target or Rondy shooting it can make a difference. The biggest thing I found out from the info was how much difference there is in measuring patches. Some compress a lot more than others. Mic-ing them regular and compressed can make a big difference in accuracy. Oh well that's enough. You can wait to get the mail to find out the rest

Chetmarks was kind enough to send me his copy of the Schoultz system. It's a total of 28 pages (8.5 x 11") of material directed at achieving round ball accuracy. Much of it will be "I knew that" kind of stuff for experienced round ball shooters - working up a load, loading consistency, wiping between shots,patch thickness, etc. - but the emphasis he places on patchlubrication and weighing balls was pretty interesting. I would think the package would be pretty usefulto anyone just getting in to shooting patched balls.

I asked Chet if he wanted it back or whether I should pass it along to others, and he said to pass it along.

So, who's next?? If you want to read it PM your mailing address to me. If I get more than one reply I will send it to the first one and includethe addresses of the others so it can beforwarded alongto each onein turn.

I prefer the Doc White system.

Yeah, but that system hasno balls.
