Hey, I usually hang out in the "Art of the Rifle" forums, but I've been thinking of getting into BP.
I know I will be flamed and hated universally, but I am looking at one of the new in-line rifles, and am thinking of using pyrodex pellets.
I know when using sabots or Power Belts you simply pach the projectile over the powder. But when you use a plain lead bullet (like say a Ball-et), do you need to place a patch between the powder and projectile, or just pack it down bare over the powder?
I'm sure I'll have a million more questions as I start to explore the BP world. Thanks.
