Pedersoli Le Page .36 percusion pistol

[Peter C]

Will do.

Peter, rather an old thread but I've recently acquired a Pedersoli le page in 36 and am having fun with getting it to shoot right. It's a better gun than my 45 Charles Moore but my scores are down in comparison. How is yours going?

You have PM

Thanks for the reply. Just out of curiousity, do you a filler, semolina or whatever?

The quest for perfection continues. I'm now using 8.5gn swiss no1 with about the same of semolina on top with two thicknesses of 100% cotton patches made from offcuts bought on evil bay lubed with bp solvent. I'm only using two patches as I've yet to find the right thickness in one layer. These are cut around a 2p piece giving a one inch diameter.

On a good day I'm getting a ten round (from 13) group of about four inches which, if in the right place, will produce low nineties on a pl7.
