Re: New Toy
Wow, that took longer to get to you than I'm sure you were expecting. At least it is there now and we are looking for a shooting report after you have had a chance to shoot it.
What happened to what you ordered from Dixie? Ever get it?

Re: New Toy
First shot ' marked ' from the evelution and after slight adjustment the next ten shots.
will adjust sights properly when I take it out to 50 meters .
The bullet weight is 370 grns and 60 grns of medium powder , will work my loads up gradually to around 80 grns .
I did not experience the problems that Duncan had requarding fouling
and the last round was as easy as the first to load,
Cleaning it was a breeze thanks to the tips from Duncan .
will let you know as to how I progress with it .

Re: New Toy
Now that is a good report. And it looks like you can definately shoot with it judging from the looks of that target.
