I chose to use my BACO (Buffalo Arms Co.) 615 Grain Paper Patch Bullet for this outing, My 610 Grain Grease Groove Bullet Shoots every bit as good, I just didn’t have any Cast up. The paper i used here is Paper Mill Store 9# onion Skin (wood pulp I believe?) it is thin Stuff, Good Patching Paper 👍

Dang it Lew. you're running out of serious challenges. So I have a proposition for you.

We have some 24" x 24" steel gongs on our hunting club rifle range down here in S. E. Louisiana. The gongs are painted white with a 3" black center dot. If you'd like to take a crack at one of them from up your way I can give you the GPS coordinates. After each shot I'll call your cell so you can make minor sight adjustments to get on center.

Oh come on Semisane, can’t ya think of somethin’ a bit more challengin’ than that? Maybe put some target dots on a couple gators or somethin’? After all, Lewis is a hunter.
 
Are these your daughters Lewis?[
