ph.conversation w/ Ross Seyfried re. loading for NEF Paradox
15/11/08 01:25 PM

While trying to find a copy of Shooting The British Double Rifle(2nd edition won't be available in U.S. for another 6 weeks or so, mebbe?) and inquiring about loading for Paradox Guns, I was given the ph. # of Ross Seyfried and gave the man a call.
Some things he mentioned were:"Paradox bored 16 ga. would normally have .051 constriction at choked/rifled muzzle section." (My NEF has aprox. .030 constriction)
He figured my NEF had a good chance of shooting well with a starting load of 3 drams of black powder, several wads, and a .65 cal. roundball.
He also thought I'de have better luck with paper or plastic cases.
Also said that he alloyed tin:lead 1:15.

I had been concerned that I had TOO MUCH "choke" too pattern shot well, but it looks like I don't have to worry about THAT. (Gun appears to pattern a tight imp.cyl. w/ 7/8 oz. factory loads.)
Only thing is whether or not the one oz. roundball will shoot well, and whether I have to get Veral Smith to make me a mold for a Paradox "bullet".

(Getting a bit closer.... ;-)

Any of you handload for your Paradox Guns?
