Shooting my friends rifle that I built for him. Traditions St.Louis Hawken .50cal 1:48 twist. 70gr 3fg Goex, .490 cast ball .020" patch lube with an experimental patch lube, no swabbing. 50 yard 3 shot group. Average velocity of 1,579.
Earlier I was trying to shoot for groups with 60gr 3fg Swiss ( Most accurate ) and just had to laugh at the 3 1/2 - 4" groups WHILE SWABBING BETWEEN SHOTS! It got worse with no swabbing. That 3fg Swiss is a joke.

I am not a Fan of Swiss 3F either, i had HORRIBLE luck with it the last several outings with it? I Gave up on it, I am now using that Same Can of 3F to “Foul Shoot” I Won’t Be Buying anymore Swiss 3F, Everything i have done the last Few years has been with Swiss 2F, I Swear by that Stuff! 2F Swiss will shoot with the BEST of my Centerfire Stuff
