Very encouraged by the first few paper patched rounds, 25 yds, off the hood of the truck, blazing hot out, still not bad. The paper patched bullets were wet patched and dried, then coated with Rooster Jacket and left to dry again, they measured right at bore diameter, .632". The load was 2&1/2 drams or 70 grains of 1&1/2F Swiss, topped with a bore diameter lubricated felt wad(Wonder Wad) seated firmly on the powder charge, the bullet was then seated. All three shots in the bull, under 2" and I was never really settled in today. I might have the load down. More shooting in the evenings the next couple weeks to try to beat the heat and get the gun completely dialed in. I'm quite happy with today's outing.
