Title: Muley ready!
Post by: MountainDevil54 on August 18, 2021, 08:37:00 PM

I bought some Bridgers Best patches the other week and wanted to give them a try in my Traditions St.Louis Hawken .54cal. I was shooting from 60 yards and used 80gr gearhart-owen 2fg, .015" patch lubed with bear paws patch lube and home cast .530" round balls. 5 shots total and i am pretty pleased! I was aiming 6 O'clock on the bullseye, so 3 - 3 3 1/2" high puts me dead on at 100 yards.

No complaining there. Good shooting. Especially rewarding with home cast balls.
