Walks with fire
54 Cal.
I am wondering how many people have tried using an over the bullet card to keep the conical from potential movement in the bore. Would this have an effect on the accuracy of the bullet? It would probably prevent it from moving off the charge wouldn't it? Is it safe to do something like this? Would it work?
I have never tried it and wonder if it would act as a bit of a saftey feature for a conical load. I have always liked the idea of a heavy conical but was always concerned about them moving off the charge without knowledge of it. I have never even seen an overcard. It's used to hold the shot in the bore with a smoothbore; right?
I would like to try it but wanted to see if others have already done it. This would be a .50 caliber rifled barrel. Do they make over the shot cards for a .50 caliber?
