The original post was filed too low, partially due to trying to clean it up, so I cut a dovetail, and made another front sight.
Close up:
Here's the Target I shot last night.
First two cylinders were loaded as follows:
32 Grains Goex FFFg
Cabelas Wad
Speer .454 Round Ball
Lube over balls
The first 6 shots were all over the place, with the very first one going into the dirt well in front of the target. The second 6 shots tightened up a bit.
The last cylinder was loaded as follows:
25 Grains Goex FFFg
NO wad
Speer .454 Round Ball
Lube over balls
These shot tighter yet.
Oh yeah, 15 yards, one handed grip.
Looks like It's shooting a bit low and to the right. I'll have to shoot more groups, to make sure it's not the "idiot behind the trigger".
Whadaya think of my Lube Syringe? One of the wife's horses needed painkillers for a sprained ankle and a cut on a leg ... I horked the empty 'butte syringe and cleaned it up. Works good, had a stopper and a hardstop (to keep from accidentally discharging some lube). Now, if I only had another one or two, I'd be set! I ain't gonna hope for another injury to a horse, that makes the syringe really, really expensive!
