Gentlemen, Dave and I took his Waller to the range today and woke it up ! 21/4 drams of Fg by mistake for the first couple shots, Dave took the first one on the bench at 50 m a 10 ! I wiped between shots and you could feel the roughness of the bore each time we loaded. The patches from left to right, the first couple shots chewed them up a bit, and as you can see by the last few shots the patches came out intact as the bore improved. Next time will fire some patches dressed with valve grind past instead of pulling the breach plug and see how that goes. Best 10 of 13 scored 90 ! between the pair of us. The rifle shot poa from the first shot, so sights still bang on. After the 3rd shot and I realised that it was Fg we swapped to same charge with FFg had to lower the poa to a fine sight with the black sitting on top. I think we will also try a greased felt wad over powder like I do with my FBG, which also has a bore that is a little rougher than ideal and seems to like that combination
