    It would be interesting to see what kind of group you can get with some decent 9mm compared to the magtech.

    I have some s&b and Winchester. The sights I think are the limitation it's quite a wide front post. Getting a red dot or 1 to 4 scope mounted might be something to look at in the future

    It serves 2 functions, it removes plastic buildup from wads and it ignites and gives a nice fireworks display

    Add some potassium permanganate (condes crystals) to your black powder. Makes nice purple smoke.
