Crazy, 60° in the valley and I’m here in less than an hour.

Today was old school day. The Indy Jones tribute S&W 1917 with a whole can of 45acp in clips made me giggle for a long while. Amazing how well that old gun shoots even at distances that it shouldn’t.
The SxS Ithaca Lewis made a bucket about 30 or so paces away dance for a while. Looked like a colander when we got done with it. Gun just points where I look and both barrels soot to same POA sooo, happy
I also shot the 1876 Centennial rearranging stuff all over the hillside with 350gr Berry’s plated bullets and a new 300 Hornady Interlock HP round I’m working on. Shot at an oak pallet on the heavy lumber side and damn, you’d thought it was struck by dynamite. I think it’ll work for hunting
The pretty 1873 in .45 Colt was there too so I blew through a few boxes of .45Colt ammo just grinning through it. Both lever actions are in cases in the pictures.
All in all a good afternoon
, I need to shoot my 1917, keep forgetting about it, need to order moon clips and the tool
ton of clips and the tool so I can load them while watching TV. That can of ammo and another just like it are all loaded just for the 17 with swaged soft lead, low powder charge and the bullets are roll crimped to they don’t back out of the case under recoil. But it’s a PIA that I can’t use them on my Ruger Birdshead 3.5” Vaquero because they won’t chamber in that gun so I have to keep them separate.
