Finally got to shoot my new Lymans
At long last I found a few minutes to take my 14 year old out and see about shooting a pair of Lyman rifles we bought for this fall.
I build a Kit .54 GP 1/60" and the boy got a .50 GPH 1/32". We did tear down his and properly finish the stock and so they both look pretty good.
I am using 777 FFG, 75gr, shooting balls from the .54 and we where shooting conicals from the .50. This was something to get the boy and I familiar with our new found goodies. The conicals seemed awful loose, so I think I will be trying others next trip out.
I found that we have an no fire rate of almost 10% when using CCI #11 P-caps. Is this normal. . . .I pull the hammer back and they all worked on the second try. . . .
Pretty pleased with both guns and their capabilities but am wondering if I should be doing something different with the P-caps? It will be a bad day if I get a nice Bull elk in my sughts this fall and have him walk away when I just get nice click and no smoke.
