Just an update, a few more rounds fired, and a bit more data.

I fired a few 8dm Fg loads, and now have an average velocity of 859fps for 4 shots. Also 1174fps for 12dm of 2F, which was quite an experience!

Otherwise I'm working on several new roundball loads.

I moved the chrony back to 30feet and so far so good. As for bullets, I think I'm done with the 2133gn paradox-type conicals as they seem too heavy and the wrong style for this gun (bullet wt isn't specified on the gun, just conical ball and 14 dms). I just got a 1.000" roundball mold on Saturday and cast 2 dozen yesterday (1485gn in wheel weight and 1508 in pure lead). The larger 1.025" pure lead balls would squish into a gumdrop shape as they were sized to 1.007"; hopefully these will bump up ok. I'm planning to try these w/12 and 14dm FFg and 80gn and 40gn of Blue Dot as a jumbo CB cap. I also loaded a couple 2000 conicals over 75gn of Blue Dot but haven't fired any yet. I'm working the next 10 days

so it will be a bit.

Data to date:
2000gn conical, Goex:
8dm Fg 859fps
10dm Fg 962fps
12dm Fg 1079fps

8dm FFg 945fps
10dmFFG 1048fps
12dm FFG 1174fps

70gn Blue Dot 1068fps

1580gn round ball, Goex
8dm Fg 1020fps

2133gn conical, Goex
8dm Fg 796fps
10dm Fg 905fps

8dm FFg 920fps
10dm FFg 1020fps
14dm FFg 1196fps
