Excellent article, Curl. What is the diameter of the bullets after patching and drying and the groove diameter of the barrel? If it was in the text or on a picture, I must have missed it.

I also use Beeswax/Vaseline for lube, a little stiffer than yours, for both grooved lubed and paper patched bullets. I use a 60:40 mix BW:Vas. This is an excelelnt lube in large bores for both black powder loads and for smokeless loads.
