Hello BP shooters! :v
Anyone here owning a Armi Sports (dont know how its called outside EU) .69 rifled Musket?
Mine gets delivered next week but I am not perfectly sure what ball size and patch size to start with.
After numerous failures to get decent accuracy with my two .45's I settled down with a thick patch small bullet combo which works pretty good with rifle and pistol, but would the combo also work with such a big caliber like .69?
What does your .69 Armi Sport .69 rifled musket like to eat and spill?
My rough guess for a good start would be something like .675 RB + .017 Patch for a tigh fit and grip combined with a 65 grains starting load of swiss FFG, but thats just a guess to get started.
I dont want to buy a completely wrong setup since bullets and patches in caliber over .58 are very expensive here and muzzleloader related deliveries tend to be a tad too long too. ( at least 12 work days)
Of course I cannot get the perfect setup on the first try, but I hoped for some experience of you guys to get a decent start with only minor further adjustments.
Thanks in advance for any useful comments. :thumbsup: :grin:
