Shot round 3 & 4 of the winter season with a new set up.
Pistol: .36 Mortimer
Powder: 9.1gns of Swiss No.1
Patches: 0.010" Ox-Yoke pre-lubed
Balls: .350" home cast round balls using a Lee mould
Filler: 6.5gns of coarse ground semolina
Although nothing special, shot a 78.0 and a 73.0 The second card was way down from a possible 80-85 due to very poor light control on the range. The sun had moved across the top of the butts ans was in direct eyesight. Even with a had to shade the eyes, the foresight, rearsight and top sighting rib of the pistol glistened in the very bright sunlight.
The filler was a first for me, and it seemed to make a more solid 'bang' and felt more robust in the hand, although not excessive.
