Slug Guns and Muzzleloaders

[sluggun pilgrim]

Hi all,
Last year i built a ML slug gun with a 40 cal false muzzle Rice barrel, underhammer action and percussion ignition. I'm shooting a paper patched bullet 400 grns with 60 grains of Swiss 2F. The best i can do at a 100 is about a 2+ inch group. Any long time slug gunm shooters out there who may be able to help me.

Cheers

Tried to send you a PM. Didnt work.

When you say "paper patch", what type? Most of us use a paper cross patch or a paper chase patch.

Hi Joe
I've been using a chase patch, 2 thou Reynolds freezer paper, 60 thou vegetable fibre wad above the powder. Started with pure lead bullets and increased the tin lead ratio in small increments, best results so far is with 1:30. Always seem to get a tight group of 3 or 4 shots then fliers.
Hoping to try some onionskin paper this weekend.
