How much did you compress that KIK 3F, 70 grain load with the wad?
Yeah, sorry, that was a type-o... it was two .060 wads for .120 wad column
Not sure exact compression off hand for the 74gr load...but enough to get a .060 OP+news paper wad and the Lyman Postell up the first drive band in a Winchester case.
My bullet lube is a little poor I think, But the 3fff seemed to foul pretty bad because it took many wet/dry patches for the barrel to come clean after 10 shots.
Drop to 1, .060 wad. Why do you use 2??
Try DGL lube, you can order it from Shiloh Sharps.
