How's it shoot? ![handshake :shake](http://tradmla.org/tmaf/Smileys/default/handshake.gif)
Thank you!
I only put 3 balls through paper yesterday at 25 yards, all a few inches apart. I'm not sure if it is me flinching, or the patches, which were shredding a big hole in the middle. Odd, since the same ball & patch is fine in my other Kentucky, but using real black vs 777 in the percussion might be a factor. Bit ignition does not seem to be an issue.
Could be a combination of both with the bore needing to be (what I call "shot in" )... You'll get'er worked out. ![blue thumb :bl th up](http://tradmla.org/tmaf/Smileys/default/blue_thumb.gif)
I shot a few rounds yesterday with swaged balls. I realized I had used cast before, and they seemed less accurate when I had used them in the percussion.
The first shot was a spit-lubed cleaning patch, like I always used before. Patch shredded, but accuracy improved. Then I used cleaning patches and slightly thicker cloth patches, greased with a beeswax/ crisco blend, or straight crisco. The cleaning patches held up better, but still shredded a bit. The cloth patches did well. I didn't notice a big difference between lubes, other than the crisco ones seemed to load a bit easier, and I don't need a short starter (partly because the muzzle has a slight "cone" from the factory.)
I just need to work on my hold now. Seeing the sparks as the flint strikes the frizzen is throwing me off a bit.
