Hi Everyone
Looking for some help.
Twist as you know is 1-62.
I am using Lyman Minnie.
I started using a wonder wad under bullet as I clean after every shot.
Let me explain.
I shoot a Gibbs target, and a P&H Volunteer rifles.
My sequence after every shot is, powder then wad, then I clean then seat bullet.
I went to this sequence in the Zouave, because I was getting hang fires with the crud
being shoved back into flash hole on inside of barrel.
After I went to the loading sequence that I use in the Gibbs and Volunteer, hang fires stopped.
I have tried 45 grs. right thru to 70grs.
I use 3f goes in all my black powder guns.
I know if I go any higher I run the risk of blowing out the skirt.
Shoots more of a pattern at 100yds rather than any sort of group.
I am thinking of going to a cardboard wad next.
If that doesn't, work, I am going to try round balls.
I also use a sizing die, hand held, and they, Minnie, come out at .577 dia.
The bullets glide down the barrel very nicely.
Any advice and sorry about the novel!
Cheers!
