[Herb]

I have posted about Olde Eynsford testing done with several rifles, and it is here for anyone wanting to look it up. Here is one example

You have my unbounded admiration for your dedication to this avocation. You, unlike many here, speak with results and actual range time. Great shooting. :thumbsup:

Excellent, I have just begun shooting Olde Eynsford and look forward to testing it for myself. I can never get too much information on a subject. :hatsoff:

So that was 100 grains OE FFg
0.018" linen crushes to .008"
Cleaning patch on the seater
.530 cast ball
cci #11 cap

At 100 yards - I'm guessing that shooting was from a bench?

Is that a Rice barrel, Herb?

 

[Herb]

Yes, from rest, my bench rest. The barrel is a Green River Rifle Works barrel I got from a GRRW former gunsmith. He started to build a rifle with it, gave up. I had to move the underlugs and the rear sight to match the Jim Bridger rifle I copied.

Not surprised, Herb. I’ve got a 42” tapered .45 GRRW barrel that loads and shoots great, after all these years,
