Named Little Sheba 'cause of how long it took to come back from the barrel smith. Thought it would never come home.
Looking into a tang mounted ladder peep.

Have been using a rifling pre-engraved 310 grainer. This lighter boolit is from some NEI blocks I got thirty years ago for an 1870's bolt action. It drops out at .395" and 251 grains with soft lead. Best groups so far are with cotton onion skin paper, two dry soft cards 7/16" diameter and 70 grains of FFg. Using a .399" push through sizer from Tennessee Bullet Molds. Shooting less than 2" at 50 yards, 1432 FPS with the chrono 10 yards from the bench. The boolit at left was expanded by three gallon milk jugs of water.
