Hey all,
I'm going to be taking the reenacting/shooting season off this summer- call it a "rebuilding year" :wink: - and will be working on more accurate skirmish/hunting/target loads for this little darling:
M1855 Rifle Musket
So, in lieu of that, I have bullets, 3f powder out the wazoo, and plenty of time.
My question is, have any of you tried over-minie (ball) cards/wads/patch etc. in a rifle musket? Is there any potential to create a dangerous bore obstruction? Should I just forget about it? I've seen some videos on youtube of guys including over-ball materials in their loads with minies, and I'm wondering if it might help in terms of med./long range accuracy, or in the general accuracy department.
All thoughts and suggestions welcome. :grin:
Thanks,
-Chris
