Many Thanks acmsarh.
Hi Steve, Thank you for the bullets you sent. I usually use TS2 but stocks where getting low so i bought some Kranks med which is what i used
on Sat. Mucky old stuff but definitely going bang rather than woosh. Think i have some Swiss fine in the box so may give that a go.
Barrel is rifled so 577 and not 58 cal. Only thing i can think at the moment is with using cheeper powder if the rifling got clogged up and thus
the bullets couldn't expand into the rifling.?? When i tried to load a patched round ball it was REALLY TIGHT going down. When using patched ball
the bore is in effect cleaned by the patch going down so not a problem as all the crud is pushed down into the powder. With a loose fitting minnie
the grooves in the bore arnt cleaned by loading. How many shots do you get before cleaning is required.???
As said, theres a reason I'm struggling and you guys arnt, i just aint found it yet. Tim
