Patch thickness variables

[Adam Helmer]

Gil,

I have noticed in my MLs that a change in any variable usually changes things. I assume you were using .490" round balls in your .50. I usually use .010" patches and .490 balls in my 50s. I got a box of 100 .495" balls that will be tested this afternoon.

On my backyard range, I have target frames at 50 and 100 yards from the bench. I like to check my zeros at both ranges before I go afield. Good shooting.
