Frontier .50 March 5th pre-1840...

Post by RanchRoper » Fri Mar 05, 2021 11:17 pm

Shot a few at the 50 yd target today, just trying out some different powder. Off hand standing, Frontier .50 cal, 60 grains of Pyrodex, .490 patched ball.

Powder shoots pretty good, but it was harder to clean up after. Prefer the Triple 7. Was a little breezy so ended up with a couple of flyers.

I agree with RR, I prefer Triple 7
