Charge weighed in at 150.5 grains so volume measure is on. After barrels were soldered at ends I wrapped with a band clamp. Then used solder to build a bead on the clamp and decided to rip. Had to really try to keep vertical level with just a front bead (filed to a narrow blade). Horizontal was easy to pin however. At that it looks like the barrels now are shooting to there respective sides with a 3 1/2" spread (50 paces)with the 150 grains FFg Goex behind a .735 Roundball. Looks like I can get it here now playing with powder charge and need to add some weight to the barrels to simulate weight with proper ribs and sights installed.

As for the Black Powder experience it was fun. I laughed like hell the first time I pulled the trigger. It bellowed and barked and jumped out of my unready hands. Funny thing is the felt recoil on shoulder was more tolerable than many other heavy charges. Let me tell you, if you can get IMR4759 burning correctly Black is a walk in the park. I'm glad I decided to quit using 4759 before it shook my gun and my nerves to pieces. Stay tuned.
