Used and not used a drop tube in my rifle. Seemed to make no difference out to 100 yards. Dispensed with it now, my paper cartridges and thus patched bullets work best for me. Horses for courses, you’ll need to find your own horse! 😉🥳👍👍👍

Started on some walnut grips for one of my NMN. The wood is barely thick enough so I plan a brass in-between

Made a few smile makers

Found out that one of my NMN’s doesn’t like the ‘new’ bullets with 15gn Swiss 2 behind them. the 7 ring is 2 3/4” - three rounds went off target completely at 15 yards! probably needs less powder, what do you guys think? the barrel IS pitted, it was a cheap gun.

Actually made it into my shed to do some casting for the first time since I went crock in August. TOW sent me a Lee 375-130-6C mould a while back. Being a 6 cavity meant that I spent more time waiting for the lead to melt than I did casting 100 bullets. Test run tomorrow.

Gotcha! Welcome, enjoy👍

I have always used the term Patridge (name of the inventor) not Partridge. A patride sight is undercutat an angle so that the edge facing you is in shadow. Clearer sight picture, no good in a holster as it snags too easily.

Then there’s this to consider😱 http://www.stocks-rifle.com/harmonics.htm

Oooh! GOT to make one of those, great idea. Thank you currently, my favourite - bifocal safety glasses.

I use my own take on Ed’s Red. I call it John’s Joose!

You don’t buy guns to sell them unless you are a dealer😱👍👍👍

I was taught to, and did, blow down the muzzle. Lady luck was, I believe, sitting on my shoulder. I don’t do it now. Lyman book says this:- Caplocks: After firing leave the hammer down over the exploded cap as you reload. This helps smother any sparks left from the preceding shot. Keep your...

I’m on the way to the fettling shed - just kidding officer😉😉😉
