Default First Shoot Update

Well I got it and put it together. Not too bad at all to assemble, really straight forward.

Well I used T7 FFG to test it out. One thing I absolutely hate is getting the cap on the nipple, almost no way it could be done realistically with winter gloves or very cold hands. My big hands had trouble tonight doing. I will have to fix that......I am going to get a 209 conversion for it and that should help. I imagine a capper would go far also.

I dry fired a cap to get the striker adjusted but there again was no big deal. I loaded 90gr of FFG in it. Really not sure yet as if I need a piece of wool between the powder and wad yet so I did not use one. I put the wad in and followed it with an equal amount of 2.5oz of #6 shot. Put the styrofoam seal over it and fired it.

Kicked like a mule..........did this 5 times. Shoulder sore. Not overly impressed with the pattern results at 40yds.
