Triple 7 for trapdoor?

Print Post  
I have just got my 1st trapdoor, an excellent condition 1888 rod bayo model. the few shots i have loaded, were triple 7 behind a lube wad and 405 PP bullet. but my bullet was sized .458 and i carrosafe'd my chamber/bore and it reads .459". I got some 4" 100yd groups, so now I want to use some cast .459" and triple 7, anybody here use this powder in their 'traps'???

Glad i can come over from the swed/swiss/marlin forums and 'get in' with the group! Grin

Kaintuck,

  Welcome to the Forum!

  Can't help you with the Triple 7, but I would recommend you size your bullets to .460". That is if you can still chamber the cartridge after loading it. Trapdoors come in a variety of bore sizes, up to some I've seen at .464", and you couldn't get a round chambered when the proper sized bullet was used. Sizing your bullets from .001" to .0015" over groove size is what most will use when shooting black or the imitations.

PETE
