Shooting my Pietta Smith Carbine

[TheWall]

Have not posted in a long time. Got out to the range this morning to shoot my Pietta Smith Carbine. Shot 25 shots seated at 50 yards and 25 shots seated at 100 yards. Every shot except for one was on paper. I used 29 grains of Goex 2f in a plastic cartridge with a .515 lubed smith bullet.

I have not shot the Smith in several months, so I was pleased with the results. Always good to spend time at the range!

I got to use a Smith carbine back in the 60s. They are a good little rifle. Lightweight but fairly accurate. I recall seeing one that had been converted to handle the 50-70 cartridge. Wish I would have paid more attention to the gunsmithing involved!

That's definitely a good looking rifle. Where did you get the plastic cartridges at?
