Buckshot and I along with Larry, a friend went to the range yesterday. It was a bit cooler that high in the mountains but taken allround, a nice day. Lets face , any day shooting is good. As usual I didn't have many rounds loaded since my last casting session was a bust. In order to have something to shoot I looked through my cabinets untill I found some 6mm rounds I loaded in 2000, with jacketed bullets no less. Oh the shame of it all. I will recite Elmer Kieth's name 200 times. I only had eight rounds of cast bullets loaded. They were for my 38.55. However Buckshot came through again. He let my try some 38.55 ammo loaded with twenty grains of 4759 and some exotic wading material. More about that later. That stuff shot like a champ in his rifle or mine. Buckshot also brought along a Sharps replica in 45.90 made by the little known but highly regarded Italian firm of Gussippi Linguini. He brought along one hundred rounds of 45.90 ammo and told Larry and I to fire away. Since the rifle is rather light I expected substantial recoil but it just was not there. Now, about Buckshots reloading technique. I have learned through an anonymous source that Buckshot recites an ancient mystical incantaion while reloading, I am sure you have heard it in your childhood. It goes something like this, eye of newt, lips of toad, nose hair of Obama. The idea being to summon the dark spirits to impart some magical super powers on the bullets, that is, higher velocity, resistance to gravity and less recoil. I can attest that it is certianly true about the recoil. I don't have a sore jaw today and I wasn't using a cheek pad. I am attaching some pictures of us firing the 45.90. I am the one in the wool cap, Larry is the handsome fellow with the silver hair and of course Buckshot completes the shooting team of Manny, Moe And Jack. You will notice that all the pictures of me are from the back without any pictures of my face. I will tell you right now it has nothing to do with any outstanding warrants from another state. Those charges were all bogus anyway. I would never do those things to a statue. In the pictures you can see we are shooting at a large rock high on the mountain side. It looked like it was up to no good. Don't tell the Siarra club. I am also attaching pictures of some 30.30 Winchester brass I picked up at the range.
