Started trying to get a Traditions .36 percussion to settle down. The first three shots strung vertically in line an inch apart. At twenty five paces that stringing just didn't seem right. That was when I found out that I had been using .320 round ball by mistake. Starting over with .350 ball and a little thinner patch I repeated the same shots. Got a group about four inches and spread all over. Gahhh!!
So... has anybody else out there been working with a Traditions .36?
It's got a .360" bore and .375" groove diameter, nice slow twist.
how much and what kind of powder you useing in it.most will shoot well with a charge of 30-35gr 3ff with a .015 pillow tick patch and a .350 r/b
If your groove dia is really .375 then what you have is really a 38 cal, so use a .360 ball minimum and probably a .18 patch.
