[QUOTE="jlanecr500, post: 5853317, member: 16430"] Always use the wool wads. 36gr N110. It is a fast powder and will obturate the bullet. If you choose not to use that powder, you can duplex with 10gr N110 or 10gr imrsr4759 under 50gr of 4198. The duplex will obturate the bullet. Also, direct ignition might help but do not duplex with it or use N110. Only use 4198, n120, or Reloder 7 with the direct ignition. Hankins sells that system too. If it was me, I'd duplex. The reason for the difficult obturation is land width. Look in the muzzle, that barrel likely has wide lands. When the charge goes off, the bullet expands but a wide land is hard for the bullet to wrap around. That's why the H&R's with microgroove barrels shot so well. If you're out this way on the east end, I've got lots of different projectiles, powders, and ignition systems. We will get something to shoot. [/QUOTE]
