About 2:15 into this video: (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) I'd be interested to know how many grains of Unique he was using. Same load I use. 4.0 grs. of Unique, with a 115 gr. cast lead.

	Oops - Vall, they're shooting 45-70s in the video. Can't remember their load with a 405 grain cast - I wan't to say 11 grains, but it might be more, like 14 - just don't remember. My offhand a pretty darned shaky. Yesterday with my 38-55 High Wall, 240 cast/10 grains Unique I was hitting a 9" dinger about half the time (maybe a little less) at 100 yds offhand.

	Offhand shootin' ability? I'll let you know ... as I got into an on-line (muzzleloading) shootin' contest to see who can split (by shooting) a std kiln-dried 2x4 in half with the least number of shots! I'll be using my 1680s Dutch flintlock club butt musket of 75-caliber, wearing a 60" barrel by Greg Christian. Oh, I guess she is a black powdah 'cartridge gun' as I load 90-loads using paper cartidges ...

	All of my single shots shoot one tiny ragged hole with cast bullets ... it's just the following shots that tend to open up my groups ...

	Mine is getting better, kind of... Don't have time to shoot but have been doing a lot of "Dry Firing" each day. Can tell that I am getting steadier, and see improvement if only through the forming of a habit. Have tried different stances and holds. Keeping what works, letting go of what doesn't. Some day I'll be able to shoot but for now this has been helpful. Yes, I am very new at this.
