Hi,
I am new to this forum and to Round ball shooting.
I had tried .54 caliber in my Hawken using both Green Mountain & Colerain barrels and got exactly the same results - average 100 yd 10-shot groups around 7" & sometimes as big as 13".
Phil Piburn has given me advice that has reduced my 10 shot 100 yd groups down to consistantly less than 4" - Thanks Phil! (would have never got there without your help)
Now that I think I'm getting pretty good results I was wondering if there was any gain to cutting the patches at the muzzle? What do the guys who win at Friendship do?
