Shooting ole sparkie.

Something that is being discussed on another forum is how much a round ball will upset in the barrel while being fired. If at all, personally I think that with a good charge as in a hunting load or as most bencehrest shooters use it does upset. And that's one of the reasons that these loads shoot better day in and day out accross the board. And also one of the reasos that the very light charge guys don't shoot well consistantly. I think that the light charges of powder and the light weight of a round ball per caliber do not upset and that contributes to the lack of constant accuracy accross the range. Just try to convince the light charge guys of that!

But anyway come this Spring when the snow melts it would be nice to see if any of the balls that you recover show any signs of "upsetting". Just a thought on cold winter day with freezing rain and snow back in the forecast.
