I'm having trouble finding an answer to what I'm searching for, hoping you all can help!
I'm about to head out to shoot my new-to-me 45 mountaineer. I'm going to start with the 275gr Parker BE's, .125" wool wads, CCI primers, and blackhorn 209. From what I'm seeing, most people recommend steps of 5gr by vol.
As a reloader if CF rifles, I usually start with 0.5gr increments, find an area of interest via velocity, then tune in at 0.1gr increments until I find my node still via velocity. Then I shoot groups with seating depth.
Does anyone use a Chrono to find their nodes with muzzleloaders or is it common practice to just shoot for groups because you cannot adjust seating depth?
