Thanks guys! I did notice I really had to push down on a ball and patch enough that it dented the round ball. I am sure it hurts accuracy too. I am also sure I can do bette than what I did cause I would have 2 shots almost touching and then .,, , one was 5" high. I am doing something inconsistent and will figure it out., and yes, I found that constent bullet seating is very important with my inlines along with a clean barrel. Now just for kicks, can I put a 54 cal. barrel on that gun and just swap it? I was surprised how small a 50 cal. round ball was. I will also get some light conicals of some sort and try them. Also, who has good prices and lots of supplies online? I bought from 2 small gun shops today and they are pricey, however, they are small town and know their stuff. There was little supplies where I bought the gun and went to another guns shop . I called the gunshot and they had all the supplies and was checking prices there just a few days ago. I told them I bought from another gun shop and they told me to bring the gun in to measure if I need a .490 or .495 ball. They were totally cool about me buying from another place. I lie that and its worth buying from them. They said they are the only black powder dealer in 200 miles. Just 9 miles up the road from me.
