Lubes for next session

If the weather is good next Saturday, I'll try a practise session using lube recipe 09 [Tallow:Olive Oil 1:6]. The 0.015" Jeff Tanner patches have been pre-wetted in the minimum amount of lube possible. This should help reduce the 'splatter' previously experienced.

 

I keep the patches stored in an old air pistol pellet tin. On the left of the picture above, is the phial of premixed recipe 17 [Ballistol:water 1:2]. This is what I'm currently using, but might be one of the causes of the loose groups, hence the retry of recipe 09.

I'll also be looking to try slightly larger powder loads. Google weight conversion has given me the following to try:

0.60g = 9.2594gr
0.65g = 10.031gr
0.70g = 10.803gr
0.75g = 11.574gr
0.80g = 12.346gr
0.85g = 13.118gr
0.90g = 13.889gr
1.00g = 15.432gr

Currently I use around 10.5gr of Swiss No.1 powder. I'll probably try some 12gr loads.
