paper cutter = target rifle

I have a target rifle for Rondy"s and a traditional hunting rifle that is better designed for hunting in the woods. Target shoots a 35 gr, 3f grain target load and the other shoots a PRB behind 80 grains of 2f. I shoot the target rifle a lot more than the hunting rifle.

Lyman Black Powder and Loading Manual.

If your target load hits 10 inches low at 50 yards. Place an aiming point 10 inches above the paper target you want to hit.

What are you using on the bore after cleaning it?

Are you going to keep your rifle in the safe and only take it hunting? Or are you going to also shoot targets with it? If so, sight in at 100 yards with your hunting load. Then drop the load to 45 grains and shoot at 40 yards. It will hit high or low. Place a target either above or below...

Now that you know, comes the big question. How do you know how much powder you have in your horn? I pour mine out and visually see the amount or weigh the horn (knowing the empty weight).

Bullet went through the woman and hit the other .... one shot. What is interesting is what the next project the woman killed was planning to do. It would be a reason to be shot by a political person.

I met a very nice person on this forum. I am sure that if he has the 50 pounds of 3f that he says he has, he will be my best buddy.

Try Gun Parts Corp or Track of the Wolf

By the time I figured out which one to shoot, it be getting dark outside.

So what do you think about adoptions?

It does appear that the bottom of the snail is pressing on the top of the lock. The tang should be sitting solid on it's wood base and be solid to the wood behind where the tang and barrel join. The barrel should not be pulled down into the stock under tension. It should sit in the stock...

Would have liked to see that

I was thinking of a cap block device that would protect a cap if the hammer is dropped accidently, ...... but tied to the hammer so that when the hammer is drawn, the safety device is pulled off the cap. Be sweet if it were possible. I would buy one. I hunt with my Pedersoli 10 gauge and...

The odds are that it's not the riffling. I would believe that since it is a kit rifle, there is something that does not fit correctly and is causing the barrel to shift when fired. I had this with a factory rifle and discovered that the snail was rubbing against the top of the lock causing the...

Why on a movie set during a break would anyone load a prop gun with live ammo?

When Gettysburg was being filmed, there wasn't a civil war rifle available for sale for a long while.

From the explanation, the first shot was more like a squib load as the bullet was in the chamber but separated from the cartridge case.
