I have that mold and will try them out soon. I do hope they shoot well as the .504 maxi didn't do so well today.Semisane said:I don't think it's intended for sabots. The Pedersoli web site lists a 450 grain .500 bullet as the proper bullet for the .50 caliber Rolling Block muzzle loader.
Thanks for that, probaly explains why the maxi performed so poorly. Recommended minimum load is 80gns (I assume due the breech plug needing to be filled) so I'll start there.GM54-120 said:Maxi balls might be a tad light for the 1-24 twist. Try a lower charge of powder. Even as low as 60gr might be needed for conicals under 400gr with that twist rate. Heavier conicals will also have a longer bearing surface so there is more contact with the rifling. Maxis have wide deep lube grooves and less contact area.
Well as cool as you can get on a cold day taking maybe 5 minutes between shots.bestill said:Are you allowing barrel to cool between shots?
I'll try again when it stops raining as I ran out of measured powder to continue yesterday.bestill said:That should work.
So after a string of shots that continue to hit lower what does it take to return to zero.
Thoroughly clean rifle?
Let set overnight?
Remove plastic fouling?
Or does it ever come back to zero
