    You need to shoot off hand standing, off a rest prone its hard to handle without padding of some sort. Ill bang 20 of these away one after the other, the steel butt plate leaves a nice imprint and bruise. I have a gell pad that goes on my shoulder, theyre great

    Nope, you can use them for ploughing, or fence post holes

    I tried paper patching for my double rifle but with a full case ( 120 gr ) of todays black powder it would not achieve the velocity needed to regulate. Swiss BP was the best but still not up to the standard of the old day powder the Pom's used.

    You have projectile envy Barefoot
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Probably a compaction prob? Because I have a shouldered case and with BP you cannot have any air gaps, I have to use a filler, such as corn meal. But corn meal absorbs moisture and it a bastard to load along with the wads and grease cookie. 85 grains fills the case passed the shoulder. Am going to look for a slow burning smokeless powder to load it and guess a clean barrel will be a benefit. Straight cases are great for BP that's why I shoot mostly 45/70
