    I found that when using two round ball, the one next to the powder flew true and the one in front was a flyer at about two inches somewhere in a circle around the first. They both had passable penetration on four inch farm fence posts. I mostly used a Ruger #3. Makes you wonder what it was like to use the Thompsen 1921 with the riot load inside a stone prison like Sing Sing?

    Villiers, I was thinking once it was all in place a touch in a standard crimp of .44 or .45 might give enough roll to the end to hold secure.

    I use an overshot cardboard wad cut from mat board with a sharpened punch made from a sawed off .303 round - held in place by a glob of white glue.
