Title: Olde Eynsford 2f on the range
Post by: MountainDevil54 on October 23, 2014, 02:39:51 PM

Had some time today to work with my CVA Hawken .58 and 2fg Olde Eynsford. The Chrony results showed that the 90 grains 2f OE I am shooting is super close to 100 grains 2f Goex. Works for me and its accurate and consistent!

Avg FPS 1,592 ( Goex 2f 100 grains avg's around 1,588)

90gr 2fg Olde Eynsford
.020" patches Lubed with Frog Lube and then retested with Mink Oil
.570" round ball weighed in at 277-278.8 grains
Remington #11 caps

Bore was swabbed with a mixture I made up in a 6oz bottle. Volume measurements of 3/8" Purple Power, 3/8" pinesol and then topped off with tap water. It leaves a little oiliness behind from the pinesol but doesn't leave it SLICK.

100 Yards

Covered shots were with Frog Lube on the patches. I had applied it heavier to see if they'd load easier and they did not, and the group sucked. One big verticle 4"+ string.
