I'm sure my wife would gladly sell "the bloody things" (as she fondly refers to them ) to you at a great price on my departure from this mortal plane...

Can't wait for Sunday!

don't know if it helps but I use 777 fffg in my ROA, my powder is by weight and not volume. I weigh the powder at home and put it in small glass phials. I am currently using 14.5gn, a 1/2" fibre wad (between powder and bullet) and a home cast Lee 220gn conical reversed to be a wad cutter. this load works really well for me cuts nice clean holes and I can group sub 4" at 20yds. I do not put any gunk on top of the bullet to seal the chamber as the wad and bullet do it.

hope it helps

..still here!

Just back from a great afternoon shooting the Martini Henry!.

Seems 58.2 grains BY WEIGHT of Pyrodex RS, Tesco's finest economy Scottish porridge oats, a small felt wad and a greased up 500 grain Lee cast moulded bullet is great combination!.

All in the black, including a V-Bull at 200 yrds!

..have to admit, feeling pretty smug . John at fultons wants the rifle back, got it to cheap if it shoots that well apparently!

Looks like the shot to shot consistancy rumours of Pyrodex hold true then.

The lee mould creates "flat head" bullets, didn't think they'd travel so well?!. Markers confirmed the there was no "key holing". Nice neat holes despite no patching what so ever...
