What did you shoot today?

Not today, but two days ago I tested some loads in my new Howell Conversion Cylinder in the New Model Army. Smokeless loads worked decently, black powder, not so much, but that was my bad loads, wrong bullet, not enough lube, not enough powder. But man did they LOOK cool!

That's Da Boy trying black powder cartridges in the 1858 New Model Army. I have some new bullets cast, gonna get some FAR better black powder lube, and try again.
 
Shot my Savage 204 Ruger. Grandson shot my 204, his Bergara 6.5 CM and Glock 17. Top target is the 204 with 32 gr VMAX, gonna play with the seating depth. The ES and SD have been consistent.Bottom is 40 gr VMAX( 1st time shooting them). Gonna fine tune the powder amount.
