Took a break from casting to run a few boolits through the lube/sizer.
What we have here are 405gr. pure lead, 4 lube grooves, sized to .457.
70grs. of Goex FF dropped through 24 inch drop tube. Card over powder
(7/16 punch and folder paper) crimped in the top lube groove for an A.O.L.
of 2.605 in. Pouring rain today and it pisses the wife off if i shoot B/P in the house. So.....will punch some paper tomorrow or Saturday. Shooting
a vintage 1873 trapdoor.......THE PAST COMES ALIVE!!!! Good thing there
are no buffalo on the east coast.

..............The smoke and the sound is partial payment and a good part of the fun. A little accuracy thrown in makes it all just a tad better :lol: . I have a Snider MkII** and I can pretty well hit the 100 yard berm with it. Not always but often! However, with it I never went in assuming any really good accuracy. Shooting it is kind of like firecarackers. You're just doing it for all the sensory aspects :oops:
