been reading again....i know huh??
P Mathews has several books out and the current read is "loading the black-powder cartridge". in this and a couple other books by Mathews...i read about a powder from the far past that left a damp fouling in the barrel and how easy it was to shoot several loads very accurately before any fouling control was used. just wondering if anyone has had experience with this magical powder and why the devil cant we make this powder now-a-day?
his answer to this is the lube wad. and he has several recipe's for such including a b-wax/Vaseline mix 50/50. as for lube wads...i have yet to try these but think i should as i really like the thought of shooting as many as 20 or 30 times without the need to blow or wipe between shots for accuracy.
i also know...[ tho not from experience ] that a smokeless primer behind the black will get close to the 'no need to clean twix shots' however i want pure bp in my cases just as the grandfathers did it.
i have read the Mathews books and others where the author states that after an afternoon of shooting sticks floating down a stream he finally had to clean his rifle and go home.......id die for the chance to shoot such loads for an "afternoon" before having to drool a patch thru the bore so as to be able to keep hitting to point of aim or also not have the streaks of sheared lead to clean up after.
any thoughts and yep...im bout half lazy so no need to bring this up if you can keep from it...LOL
