After playing with this new 1851 Navy .36 fora few days now I seem to have mixed feelings about the not only the best load the best way to load it.
All test have been done with Pyrodex "P" and the 380 cast ball.
22g of py.p ,dry wad, ball and grease over ball shoots great!
25g of py.p, dry wad, ball and grease over ball shoots great also.
I can load this way (see above) and let it sit for several days and it shoots perfectly with no problems.
22-25g py.p, dry wad, grease over wad, ball and get contaminated powder and some squib loads and really caked powder in the barrel.
Why is it I can load my Remington .44 with grease over the ball and let it sit for days and never get a squib or low power shot??? It just doesn't make sence to me.
This gun is a pleasure to shoot and I love it but I like the lubing effect of the grease over the wad better than over the ball for barrel cleaning.
