Ok so i shouldnt put a cardboard wad on top the powder? Just cotton then wads? And dont compress the powder at all before loading?

Ok ill take em apart and compress the powder. Is the method the same for all black powder loads? Like for the other types im planning to load? 45 70 and 11mm gras? Compress it and use grease cookies?

New to making my own bullets. I didnt know u needed to flux the pot. How much parrafin should i add to the 1 lb lead? And do i just drop it in and wait for it to burn away completely?
Forum: Black Powder Paper Patching
Thanks that will save the trouble of having to add lead to the hardball and worry about getting it mixed up with the rest. :) reloading for this thing is a little more pricey than i thought. I had to...

I was just wondering. Ik ppl have said to use a 20-1 ratio. But i have hardball and that is about 15-1. Is this close enough? Prolly gonna use grease groove boolits.
