I'm not afraid of them amassing 2A gear, I am afraid that they will figure out how to actually use it. If these morons figure out which end of the bangstick the bullet goes in we are going to be...

I want to build a couple "Know Your Limits" targets. I can't cut circles accurately with my plasma cutter, at least not this small or on anything thicker than 1/8". I need some plate steel (mild...
I've read that thread. I've seen some data calling for 13.5 and 14 grains of powder but 15.5 seems hot. I was figuring straight walled hulls may allow for that extra powder but I'm drawing blanks.
I bought a used Mec 600 28 gauge press from an estate sale. It has a sticker on the powder bottle with a hand written recipe as follows:
Bushing #23
3/4 oz Shot 1295 F.P.S
15.5 gr. Unique Powder...

I'm shooting a 1/48 24" barrel. Been running 70 and 80 grains of powder. Swab between shots and wet patch to clean when it doesn't feel smooth the dry patch.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of accuracy is considered acceptable with a patched round ball? I'm trying to develop a hunting load and if a round ball won't get me where I need to be I will have...

Loading 80 grains of Pyrodex RS 2F. Getting velocities between 1550 and 1580 FPS. If it was a center fire cartridge I would expect a narrower velocity deviation. Heading to the range this afternoon...

Well, just to update i went to the range today and had one delayed fire, and zero misfires. I swabbed between every shot and used cci #11's. the hang fire was after wet patching the barrel with...

Yes sir.
I have decided to try a different cap. Also, the 24" barrel probably wont make very good use of a 100 grain charge. I'm actually thinking 3f may do better due to the shorter barrel.
