Missing targets with black powder

[Andrew Sukel]

I’m going to get out this weekend, between cutting the wads in half and adding a OTS card under the shot I think it’s going to make a big difference, I took advice from everyone here, loaded a couple different loads and going to test them.
I learned a lot here. I’ll post back how I make out

Well I did reduce the power charge and split the fiber wads in two plus adding a over the shot card to the top of the wad. I did not have a chance to put on a patterning board yet but did break a lot more targets with these loads.
Can you pack black powder too much?
Overall I think I’m on the right track, just need some time to put on a board and experiment. Thanks for all the help.
