Hello all!
I know this may not be as exciting as the general posting topics, but I was wondering if anybody has a good starting load for a Potsdam? I know to thrice dip the ball, and I'm using 2F. I'm guessing it would be around 70-76 grains? I'm using soft lead. Should I wrap in tinfoil? I was shooting a 42 orginally, and then a Richmond carbine, but neither used the foil. I do have a Rapine mould for the Potsdam (bigger round ball). I'm just trying to get a guesstimate here, I'm going to the range this weekend. Thank you all!
