First of all I must say I am new to this forum so, 'hello to all'. And I am also relatively new to black powder cap and ball shooting.
I am using a Uberti New Army steel frame and am going to try Triple 7 fffg by Hodgdon. The loads I want to use are 20-24 grains , a wonder wad with a Hornady .454" ball.
Hodgon have a safety warning to use NO filler. I even rang up Hodgdon and confirmed this.
Anyone have any thoughts on using filler on top of wad or should I say between wad and ball. Or should I not use any filler which will seat the ball further into the cylinder chamber?
Will seating the ball further into the cylinder chamber have any dire consequences to pressures and safety?
