Range day: 30 yards
Lower pair was 8 Drams Olde Eynsford 2F, lubed wads, and 680 grain .778" round ball cast 1-20 with SPG lube.
Upper pair was 72 grains of Blue Dot (Cal Pappas load), nitro card and filler wads, same 680 grain ball with LBT Blue Lube.
Right-Left and no crossing on either powder.

Bottom single hole was a sighter shot

EDIT LATER: Did not have the chronograph with me today, next time out will chrono 2 of the 8 Dram BP loads to see how close they come to to the 1880's advertised speeds.
