Great post on making some smoke and busting some clay birds. I like to get out and shoot my smoke pole on a nice sunny day. Just wondering what kind of groups you get with the 1-48 twist and PRB at 80 to 100 yards? I have a T/C white mountain in the 50 cal and looking to get another sidelock 50 for PRB shooting.
What do your shot patches look like? Are they burning with only 60gr?
Have you tried thicker patches?
Most shoots I've attended require open sights, no peeps if you want your score to count.
Sabotloader looks like you got it dialed in now .even if it is 30 yrds but in my 54 i only use the spit patch 20 thou 65 gr 3 f and let fly after the #11 cap of course think i am really going to have to get over your way an bring a few buddies so we can have a blast busten them birds up with ya nice shoot en
Wow! Your patches are completely shredded. I am surprised you get such good grouping when you get that kind of patch damage with plinking loads. What happens with a 90-100gr hunting load?
if your getting that with just 60 grns of t7 Wow i might have to start giving that stuff a try in the 54 during hunting season .I normally shoot 90 grns during hunting season of 3f Pb but man that sound like it could do much better with less and it burns a bit cleaner too i understand .will let you know how it works but i see your butting the wonderwads over the powder i done do that anytime of the year never seen much difference ether way ?
dang that stuff must get pretty darn hot then have you shot a 20 thou Patch ? if you have is it still doing the same thing ? darn going to be interesting then to give this a good try I think looking forward to hearing more about it when you get back
now heres a question then you think oyu might be cutting the patches as you start them down meaning the lands are to sharp ?
or even more you might just need to got to a thinner patch all together shouldn't be seeing this just trying to start the ball down the barrel.
what kind of lube are you using on the patch?
other question is it really any better to use the 495 ball.
i have pretty much always stayed with the 490 in my 50 and 530 in the 54 they work best and a 20 thou patch .
