Hello Folks,

My work schedule has changed and I’m not able to go to the range much now. Yesterday I found time to shoot one three-shot group at 100 yards. Using a six o-clock hold, this 2-1/4 inch group is centered right on top of the front sight, exactly where I want it. My load is 150 gr (by volume) of Hodgden 2F Triple Seven, 435 gr roundballs cast of wheelweights, pillow-ticking patches and felt wads pre-lubed with T/C Bore Butter. This combination has worked well in other guns for many years, and makes it “falling off a log” easy to keep a gun free of rust and corrosion.



I’m always open to suggestions for improvement, and I’ve heard good things about Hoppes #9 Plus. Among those of you who use this product, have you left a loaded gun for any length of time? I’m wondering if it will migrate to the powder, or dry out?

Take care, Tom
