With a .25 patch (that's a quarter inch thick), there will be no room for a round ball. I think you want to use a .015-.018 pillow ticking patch.
Whoops, i meant to say .025 patch. I have some .018 pillow ticking patches i'll give a try. I'll try 40gr Goex FF and increase gradually till i find it's sweet spot. I've read that the manufacturer is being conservative on the load recommendation and that these are capable of up to 80gr. Heck, if i find that a 50gr load is suitable then more the better. More shots per pound. I agree that a ball will limit me to a lighter load in a fast twist like this.

I know i'll end up buying some .40cal bullet .45 sabot combo and try those out too with this twist.

I should have the rifle next week sometime so i'll be sure and post up some pics.
