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.

So happy to hear it's shooting well for you now!

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?

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.

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?

Nice! I really want a rolling block.

I remember 44 mag and a wood bee well......
I bring some 22 shot cartridges all the time now.
