Has any one tried or use buffers in your muzzle loader charges?
I experimented using "Cream of Wheat" abt 20gr. over 120gr. 3x black powder in a .45 Cal flintlock with a .440 round ball, and it worked real well. Patches weren't scorched at all. It seems to me as though the rifle kicks substantially more with the buffer but the groups were very good. Probably because the patch didn't burn maybe?
Anyone?
