Bad day Good

Ok, so the phone rang off the hook all day. My clients were all frantic @#%&*s. My Boss was up my @#% and my bank account is empty. BUUUUUUT, sitting on my porch when I got home was a 2 pound package of joy from Mr. Bullard. My .69 balls showed up and made the whole day better. I went inside and grabbed the 12 and some fixins. Even with way too small a patch, 90grains of ff and a wonder wad and she was puttin em in a beer can group at 25 steps. I have to fix supper for the kids but afterwords Im finding some ticking and going back out.

Ignore the .32 holes.Not bad for offhand with practically no patch.Thanks Jerry.

:applause: I believe that will get the job done. Are you going to try a little farther out, say 40 - 50 yards? Lube the patch good and patch them tight give her a try. :hatsoff:

For the life of me I couldnt find any ticking in any of my possible bags. I have umpteen pre cuts, but nothing any bigger than .58. The one piece of ticking that I found tightened up the ball in the bore quite a bit. It hit lower and shot harder. Ran out of patch and daylight.Oh well I will be a lot more scientific when I have all the components to work up a hunting load and the kids arent yelling for supper the whole time Im shooting.

I'll try stretching her legs a little farther when I have some patching. Lots o lube you say?

slowpoker,
Got any long worn out Levi's you been
meaning to throw out? Me neither....Just a
thought in case you are not as close to yours
as I am mine!

Now that you mention it, that isn't a bad thought. I have some Lee jeans that have always given me a hitch in the git along.They would make better patches than jeans. :hmm:
