A "New" Muzzleloading SxS

[Jay Oliver]

Craig, I ordered some 18 gauge overshot cards and wads from Track of the Wolf as 20 gauge cards/wads didn't feel quite tight enough. There is definitely some variation in bore sizes in these older guns. My only recommendation is to try 9 or 8 gauge cards/wads in your gun if you haven't already.

When I played with that 10 gauge I didn’t own an 8 but now I do and have all kinds of stuff . So I might give the 8 gauge over shot and nitro cards a try .

I’ve got other 8 gauge wads but I stumbled across these today in a drawer I forgot I had !

By no means is my MacFarlane of the same quality as the little gun this threads about , but here’s my boat anchor just the same .
