This is my first post but I have been lurking here for quite some time. Many thanks to the people on this forum who freely share there knowledge,you have defiantly flattened the learning curve for me and I truly appreciate it.
I just recently built a .62 cal smooth bore, worked up loads for both ball and shot and I am very happy with this gun, on my worst day it will shoot 2 to 3 1/2 groups at 50 yds consistently. This is with round balls purchased from TOTW, The balls I cast from wheel weights will not group at all, I'm lucky to even keep them on the paper. Both balls mic the same and they both weigh the same and actually look better than the ones I bought from Track. At the end of a very frustrating day I loaded 3 Track balls and shot a nice 2 1/2 inch group just like it always does. Anyone ever run into anything like this?, Just doesen't make sense. Thanks Dan
