[QUOTE="HOGGHEAD, post: 172934, member: 9107"] [b]ML[/b] I like a .490 round ball with a .010 patch with TC Bore Butter. A spit patch can cause rust in the barrel. I prefer 3F BlackPowder. I shoot 80 grains(volume) of powder. IMO consistency is the key. I realize BP is measured in volume, but once you know your volume you can weigh your charge for more consistency. Pressure is volume of powder and proper bullet seating. When I seat my bullet I use a range rod with a drill stop. That way I seat the bullet to the exact depth every time. This seating gives consistent pressure every time which equates to better accuracy. Tom. [/QUOTE]
