80gr Pyrodex RS, a new TC Hot shot nipple, lightly lubed wads, .530" home cast round ball, .015" patches.

1:60 twist barrel - Maker unknown.

50 yards - 10 shots. I had a few fliers from me clenching my eye closed when I'd pull the trigger but hey, im used to my lead sled!


Shooting at 100 yards with the same load.


Shot on the far left was due to the target box being knocked off center, My nephew was shooting the AK47 with me at 100 yards and he hit low and knocked the target box over at a co cked angle and I did not have a straight shot. Shot #3 fell right in with shot #1 after we reset the box and measure 1" apart. Three inches overall by counting shot #2. Not bad for a rifle that has the rear sight held on by gorilla super glue LOL!


Of course this stock originally belonged to Ray who recently passed away, so i am sure he too had a big smile on his face when things fell into place with this rifle.
