Gun Control

[ohio ramrod]

Shot August 15th 2021
25 yards off hand, open sights. The load was 40 grain FFF Kik,leather over powder wad, .445 ball cast with a Dixie "hair curler" mold and .014 pillow ticking patch lubed with synthetic sperm whale oil.. Rifle was a target rifle I made in the Early 80's with a Douglas barrel, 1/66 twist. Jerry Vanderval breech,using T.C. Hawken triggers and a Patriot pistol lock. And a board from the pony's stall for a "try stock" to work out the dimensions for a finished stock which I have yet to make.

Durn fine shot. Although I notice you didn't split it exactly in the middle.

It's fun making that shot isn't it?
People are so amazed,, that's why I like my 54,, I can miss by a 1/2 inch on either side and still make the shot,
Time to move on to "candle snuffing",,

The only gun control I recognize is holding that S.O.B. more steady for more 10 rings.
