Loading Data for 360 Grain Minies
« on: May 03, 2007, 05:09:21 PM »
Just bought (50) .50 Cal 360 grain Minies off EBay and was looking for some suggested loading data for my New Englander using Pyrodex RS.  Also, I thought I read where I need to pack the hollow base with lubricant.  Is that correct?

You can try 70-80g of Pyrodex, and yes you can put some lube in the base. I got best accuracy using 80g of real black powder. I now only shoot round balls for target and hunting.
