Think I got it down.

[Ballshooter]

Well today was a wet one, on and off down pours but, I think I have my homemade black powder down as it was very accurate, with a patch thickness of 0.015 and a .562 ball. My .58 Mountain Rifle seems to favor 85 grains by volume of my homemade brew 5 shots @ 50 yards grouped really well.

Glad to know it work for you.

I bet that is satisfying

85 grains by volume so its corned then? not just screened. Just screened my CVA .58 Mountain rifle likes 110 grains by weight, .562 hard ball and ticking patch.
By the way good group.

I'll bet that 110gr screened is mighty fast.

If I`ve been at the range the right shoulder is pretty bruised the next day. Fairly fine powder as screened but certainly works.
Have never run it over a chrony but out of a .50cal T/C Hawken caplock 85 grains and a round ball giver 1861FPS, about the same as Goex.

Darn nice group! Good job!

if you are making your own powder, be sure your affairs are in order.
Sooner or later your guardian angle will be out for coffee and you will be the honoree at a closed casket service.
That stuff is an EXPLOSIVE and home made product should not be mentioned here.

Missisg Zonnie. I do like the thought though but as per above if anyone here would soon be in a closed casket situation he just got done typing

I won't mention my method here on making it but, I feel it is safe for me to continue. Now if I was getting irratc accuracy and speeds then I probably wouldn't be doing it. It has worked for me it may not for you.

Awesome group my friend..

 

[Nuthatch]

Nice! I was happy to see a shot land just a few inches from the bullseye from 100 yards with my homebrew just a few months ago. It's similar to the feeling I get using homemade arrows & watching them fly laser-straight into a tight group. Nothing like it. Glad to see others trying it.

You've got some very good powder! Congratulations.
