I bought the old Winchester single shot with an idea to fully restore it 'one day'. The barrel was pitted, the stock repaired after splitting, none of the original finish left. Recently I started importing barrel liners from TJ Enterprises and decided to give the old girl a facelift. I also had an original Winchester WCF boolit mould which made me querious as what level of accuracy could be achieved.

The boolits thrown by this mould weigh 118gns and experience has shown that 5.0gns AP70 to be a very consistant and accurate for a chronographed 1252fps.

This 10 shot group with a 120gn commercial boolit and 5.5 gns AP70 for 1342fps. gotta love 7 bulls from 10 shots with open sights! *:onya:
