Thread: Reloading 577/450

Just now I cannot find my data for my Snider and MH loads - so long since I shot them. I think I ended up using a much lighter load than you, guessing it was around 60 3F. I think 1 stiff cardboard wad and then a cork wad. The cork wads may have been grease impregnated. SPANZ brass and Tony Hawkins paper wrapped projectiles. I got outstanding accuracy, well OK for an aged MH shooting steel at BP shoots. Recoil not an issue more of a heavy push like most of the smaller BP gun loads. Also shot at 300 yds at a rifle club and it performed OK. Shot many many goats also. I will keep searching for my data as I am quite keen to fire it again. The chamber ringer is more likely to occur I think with a muzzle loader when you don't seat everything down firmly onto the powder.
