Why I shoot a White Rifle

[Nimrodder]

Barkbuster, when I shot 3F T7 using #11 caps I've never had any crud ring problems.

I like that cloverleaf. Can you do a five-leaf clover?

Nimrodder,
thanks for the info. been wanting to try triple 7. goex black powder is getting hard to find.

I do get a slight build up of a crud ring shooting Triple Seven 2f. Slight meaning I can feel it when I load, but it does not stop me from loading. When I change powders or bullets I like to swab a barrel clean, to be fair to the powder and the new projectile I am trying.

I really think that with the Pyrodex P it was starting to come around, but I was a little surprised with the group. And my other two White rifles shoot the Triple Seven 3f real good, but this Ultra Mag shoots the 2f fantastic.

I was a coward. After I saw that three shot group I have to admit, I was scared to try and make it five shot. Too many times I have tried only to blow a perfect group. But that clover leaf was sure a shock when I walked up to the target.

Cayuga,
thanks for the reply. you may have been wise to quit while you were on top with the 3 shot group. why temp fate.

 

[barkbuster]

has anyone had much experience shooting triple 7 with musket caps?

Nice shooting Cayuga, I have some T7 3f I'll have to try along with Pyrodex P, but I'll be shooting 300gr Gold Dots with sabots.

80 grains of T7,,,but only 70 grains of Goex and Pyrodex?? Why??

 

[cayuga]

I went strictly by what my notes on the rifle said I achieved the best accuracy, with what powder. I do know that the black powder number was from when I first started shooting.. which was Swiss. When I changed over to Goex, I just never changed the amount of powder.

I might have to experiment with different amounts this summer. But I really like how it does with the Triple Seven.

 

[Batchief909]

You might wanna bump that Goex up. Swss is alot hotter than Goex. 8)

 

[cayuga]

Actually I think Swiss is hotter then Pyrodex P also. Maybe some more things to try. Although I like the results of the Triple Seven and the rifle seems to like the powder a great deal as far as ignition.

Here is an old powder comparison article... you can find Swiss on the second picture. I have always felt that Swiss shot right along with T7 powder when it came to velocity....
