I gathered up the Lyman Sisters for a shoot. Betsy is the long legged one and Shirley the shorter but quick tempered little sister.

It is snowing like a bugger so it was a short shoot. It's a real pain when it's snowing or raining with the flintlocks.

I'm not going to post any targets because both rifles were all over he!!'s half acre today.

They shot high. They shot low. They shot left. They shot right. Absolutely brutal.

I think I've got some lead for melting into round ball.

The lube worked great on the bullets. Fouling was soft and loading was easy with no swabbing required. Since the bullets
didn't shoot worth a hoot the bullet lube is now patch lube.

On a side note. I rubbed a cotton ball in the lube last night and rolled it up like a wick. It burned great with no smell. So there's another use for it. Emergency fire starter.
