With regard to holding back, I doubt it. I am moderately familiar with the international BP/muzzleloading fraternity, having participated in competitions in Englandicon, Franceicon, Germanyicon, Italyicon and Austriaicon, and find that people are quite willing to discuss how and why they do what. The behaviour of minié-style (hollow-base) bullets has been studied intensively for more than a century. I am also one of the relatively few contributors to use my own name, and am correspondingly unimpressed by hints of secret knowledge possessed by anonymous persons who cannot produce a single competition result to back up their opinions.

If I am wrong, let's have names and facts!
