This past weekend I attended but did not compete at a sillohette match at the Roanoke Gun club. The event was run by Capt. Joe Davis, a most gracious host who patiently answered my numerous questions. I was able to use my spotting scope on the line and so much enjoyed the shoot that I plan on competing in the near future.
I think everyone there was using gg bullets but I want to use pp bullets. I already have a BACo 535 gn Elliptical, Jim 443530e pp mold that I’ll use to cast 1:16. And I’ll start working up a load that Brent recommended for .45-70 in my Browning BPCR 1885 knockoff.
My question is, what wiping technique do you pp shooters use under the time constraints of silhouette shooting? What I have gleaned so far is a Texas bore pig-pushed through the bore with a damp patch on the end of a Teflon rod followed by a dry patch. Would really appreciate hearing from the “been there done that” group.
Thanks, Richard
