Ballets follow-up
Hello to all,
Yes the ballets are the round-nose, straight-sided, with "Mini-Ball" hollow base.
There has been no consistent grouping with the projectile, a with any powder charge. The rifle will hold the black on a NRA fifty yard pistol target at 100 yds, off-hand.
I find the maxi-ball to have an elevation increase in target impact, due I believe to the increase pressure over 70 grs of FFG.
For me I will stick with the round ball a practise alot.
Yes, I believe that there was significant fouling increase, reverting to patched round ball after firing the ballet, in took two shots to get a good group.
To Poodleshooter, Did you get or can use the 12ga barrel? That's why i bought the New Englander. The N.E. is a good firearm.
