I have to say, I sure have been enjoying
Mr Dale Allen Raby knock over stuff in the snow. Man, it looks cold there. I braved similar conditions today
when I had the opportunity to head out to the range with the Three Band Parker Hale. I got this one shooting well now - a minie it likes, lube and load combination. The minie is Lee's .575 trashcan of pure lead, 50gn FFFG Wano, Semolina filler over powder by equal volume, 70/30 beeswax and lard lube. I aimed the first twelve shots with a fine sight right in the middle of the target, with all shots grouping nicely to the right. The last shot I placed the front sight, fine again, at nine o'clock on the white circle - the shot fell bang in the middle, a touch high. My sights are as issued, standard; I'm not keen to alter them at all to adjust elevation and windage. A fine sight and aiming off will suffice.
Oh, and the target was shot off a rest, front and back, sitting at a bench, locked in tight yet relaxed (you know what I mean), an ever so slight breeze left to right.

Nice shooting
