    One of my shooting friends builds these for his clients. Here's a group I shot for him at 50yd in a test session with a 54 Colonial. Ball dia is incorrect in the data, it should read .530.

    Was gonna comment on the ball diameter as well. Figured I would just wait to learn something new with a .526 ball.

    Have had several 54's ( yep favorite cal) and they consumed .530 with a couple doing great with .535 inch balls.

    I also do NOT like super tight loading combo's so am interested in further discussion on the smaller dia balls.
