43 Spanish and model 12 revisited today.

[JunkCollector]

First attempt with the 43 was dismal.
Today was much better.
Thanks for the help Bigslug.

Dang pictures sure didn't come out where I wanted.

I lubed the bullets.

Stuffed a few more grains of BP in and seated a bit farther out.

First shot I pulled some......yeah I know.
Next two were touching.
I was quite happy.
Guy from work tried and had two touching.
Definitely on the right track.

The model 12 first time out I was checking patterns with the poly choke.
Figured out I had a high cheek weld doing that.
Today we tossed some clays and I was ink spotting them with no pain....lol
Big relief for me.....sorry Enzo
It's staying a bit.
Carlos a friend from work seemed to like the Spanish and effects.

Thanks buddy it is a huge relief that first time was just so bad.

I know I'm headed in the right direction now or even there.
I have a few more rounds to burn up to see.

This would be fun at some long range steel I'm thinking.
I'll cook you up some.....

You should add a little bacon grease to the lube!! That and the smell of black powder would be INCREDIBLE!!

That thing shoots good!!

What makes you think there is none in there

I am getting optimistic
Heck it's Almost bear ready now.

NIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!!

What did you end up with for lube?

[Elk Creek]

Well that’s more than adequate for big critters!!!! Nice shooting

We expect to see a 50 straight patch in a picture with that Model 12

It’s all good. That 12 couldn’t have a better home

Sure it could and probably eventually will
It does have to be played with for a bit first now.
Think a few rounds of skeet or sporting clays for fun.

Good luck seeing that ever.

NIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!!

What did you end up with for lube?

It was a homebrew from a friend.
He wasn't using it anymore.
He did say the recipe but.....well I forgot.

Seeing these pics brings me back! Did I mention how much I miss shooting with you?

[bullsi1911]

Nice! I really want a rolling block.
