Shot the GRP today..

[Ballshooter]

Well still no bear and it's getting hot here..So, I thought it would be a good Idea to check my zero @ 50 yards. I'd say if something presents it's self it's in trouble! Shot 4 times at the paper
Plate from a hunting sitting position, I am happy with that! Had a hell of a time in the past to get a patch and round ball started with and without a short starter using .530 balls I molded myself with lead from Justin 44. No fault of the lead or the mold it was the crown and the first inch of the barrel would seem to cut the patch. I tried to smooth the crown with no adval. So, decided to cut off an inch of barrel and recrowned the GRP. Man was I happy with the result! Clay pigeons at 100 yards no problem! I took one final shot at 125 yards just to see if I could hit with the same 6 o'clock hold yep...I am good with the outcome.

Sorry but what is a GRP rifle? Never heard of that one. Good shooting by the way.

Thank you very much..I took great pleasure redoing the stock. I also just put on a T/C hammer to get better geometry on the **** and I am also able to run 3/4 × 7/8in flints now instead of the 3/4 × 3/4 or 3/4 x 5/8's. Ignition and spark is greatly improved.

Beautiful gun and nice shooting

WOW, what a nice looking stock! Did you know it was that nice before you stripped it down? Greg

I did the stripes on the stock with a small butane torch just enough to darken the wood. I then sanded with 1000 grit sandpaper and finished it with 0000 steel wool.

Wish my GPR flint was that purty.

 

[MountainSmoke]

I'd be happy with those results too. Good shooting with that fine looking rifle.

Ballshooter, I assume that is a walnut stock? Is that an Investarms or Pedersoli made GPR? Greg

 

[Lippy984]

Wow what patch and charge are you running with that .530?

That’s basically what I use…I think I need to find better sights for my eyes

I am using the fixed primitive semi buck horn but, I opened it up to a U shape with a small round file. Really helps to consecrate on the front not to mention it's way easier to see the front sight. It worked for my eyes.

Yeah I should know better… that looks a lot better now that you showed it. Thank you

Sorry but that group doesn’t count.

The target was upside down.

Reminds me of a Rendezvous where the targets were small lollipops sticking out of a board. The instructions were to shoot the lollipops. I shot my two and the lollipops went flying. The scorer called out, "Zero, ye was 'posed to shoot the lollipops, not the sticks!"
