Update 7/19 Good day at the range. Hot as He!! and humid. But it meant I had the range to myself. Set up the chrony and a target at 50 yds. The brass loads with SR4759 were Horrible, felt like a delayed ignition and incomplete powder burn. So back to 800X and round balls for that one. The SR4759 and the paper multi-hulls with Federal wad with petals cut off and nitro cards were good. I got decent regulation and velocity. The soft lead slugs caused some leading, so I think I need to relube them after sizing. No tumbling and recovered slugs still exhibited engraving from the chokes. I will try the hard cast slugs, since I am sizing them to bore size, this should reduce leading. I will post pictures of the targets and the velocity strings from the chrony. I also put the conversion tubes in and did some 45-70 loads. Very happy with those results also. Same as above more details to come. Both loads and calibers shoot well enough to the sights, Bonus.
