Poperly seated Load ?

Post by UtahRob » Sat Oct 14, 2006 8:28 am

I was told once that you ramrod should bounce when dropped on the a properly seated load . A also have heard you should just seat the load firmly to a mark on your ramrod. Which way do you prefer ??

Thanks Rob.

Never heard of that before? Interesting though. ???

All I have done is seat to the mark.

When I first started hunting with a muzzleloader a few years back, I was told to seat the ball and then bounce the ramrod three times. Since then I just seat it to the mark.
It ain't the size of the gun but the placement of the bullet.
