Here are more velocities from a Joel Ferree (Western Pennsylvania) caplock I built with a 38" B Green Mountain swamped barrel. .490 ball, CCI 11 caps, Hot Shot nipple, .012 PT, Murphy Oil Soap and alcohol. All 80 grains, no black powder booster for the Triple 7. No wiping between shots or cleaning at all, though some tests were shot on the next day with a cleaned bore to start. Sometimes the repeat velocities are quite different and I don't know why.
80 grains Goex 3F, 6 shots, 1925 fps, 41 spread.
80 grains Goex 2F, 5 shots, 1763 fps, 33 spread.
80 grains Swiss2F, 6 shots, 1922 fps, 25 spread.
80 grains Swiss2F, 7 shots, 1938 fps, 34 spread.
80 grains Swiss3F, 6 shots, 2072 fps, 35 spread.
80 grns Pyrodex P, 6 shots, 1773 fps, 82 spread.
80 grns Pyrodex RS, 7 shots, 1787 fps, 85 spread.
80 grns Triple7 2F, 4 shots, 1919 fps, 48 spread.
80 grns Triple7 2F, 4 shots, 1952 fps, 97 spread.
80 grns Triple7 2F, 5 shots, 2041 fps, 44 spread.
80 grns Triple7 3F, 6 shots, 2140 fps, 104 spread.
80 grns Triple7 3F, 5 shots, 2053 fps, 106 spread.
The reason for six or seven shots is I fire one or two or three "bore seasoning" shots" on a separate "fouler" target, then five on a record target. If there is a low velocity due to a torn patch, I delete that velocity from the record string.
I see I posted these velocities for my Jacob Wigle rifle, above. They were similar. Here they are for the Wigle rifle:
80 grains Goex 3F, 6 shots, 1832 fps, 63 spread.
80 grains Goex 2F, 5 shots, 1750 sps, 44 spread.
80 grains Swiss 2F, 5 shots, 1857 fps, 39 spread.
80 grains Swiss 3F, 6 shots, 1985 fps, 28 spread.
80 grains Swiss 3F, 6 shots, 2030 fps, 36 spread.
