Yep, but it fouls real quick. I tried it in a Martini Henry so I could fill the case completely. Got less than 2 inch groups at a 100yd for about 3 or 4 rounds, after that forget it. Blow tubing is worthless and because it is so dirty, clean up is a mess. It is easy to adjust your load though, all you do is pull out a briquet or 2.:roll:

Carry a rod and use it every other shot, works good for me.
