    Cheers @Tasbay that was a good solution to the practice shooting and small game load.

    40 grains Triple 7 FFFG and the 175 grain round balls are basically in the same location at 50m as my 395 grain conical's
    Grouping nicely and man its gentle on the shoulder
    I'm sure a rabbit or hare won't have a clue how much slower its going when it hits them !
    Well greased patches were almost intact and the lesser greased ones were still fairly ripped, but it didn't seem to affect where they landed.

    Half the lead, half the powder a fraction of the recoil !!

    Nice
