1-2grs. left bore looking as if a straight smokeless load had been fired. However..with straight Swiss, I could blow-tube and groups were around 1" at 50yds. running 1 barely damp patch thru after each shot gave match accuracy..3/8". With the du-plex..I still needed that 1 patch thru..but could use dry patch. I fiqured it wasn't worth hassel & went back to straight black.
