All - thanks for the replies much appreciated:
@BrentD - that is a good question. I would say foremost, to shoot these rifles sympathetically and do this in as 'original' way as possible. From simple 'range time for fun' to taking medium game at distances up to 150yds once happy with loads and accuracy. Simply hanker that old guns should be fired wherever possible.
On the paper patch in 450, do you have a template that you could share/any advice?
@Eric375 - that is helpful ratios, the sort of thing I would have had to ask.
@Mike Harrell - excellent steer Mike, it's the sort of rookie mistake that could be easily made. Am guessing this is friction and wear physic.
