OK

Ain't no braggin about those targets. The gun is a High Standard Victor with a five inch Falcon Barrel and Herrett grips. I use an old Ultra Dot sight. I've been shooting CCI SV. Last night, I shot a 273 (86 - 93 - 94) using a modified Ruger MK.II. The frame is Ruger, the trigger, hammer, etc. are V...

November 2010 scores post here!!

I shot a set last night. Didn't see anything in the sticky about posting pictures of the targets. I will if need be.
Shot a 274 for the NMC (gallery).
Slow - 92
Timed - 92
Rapid - 90.

"Win it in slow fire; lose it in rapid."
Ain't it the truth.

ED's

Ed's Red:
Four of those ingredients are solvents. How many are really needed? It would most probably work as well if it was just the tranny fluid and the kero - or the two separately.

case separation

Do the cases extract smoothly?
A picture of one would be helpful.
Have you worked out why the case that broke did so?
Case head separation - that's what it sounds like - is frequently related to headspace problems in reloads. (though I had one last weekend with a .44 Mag case in a Ruger BH.)

M6

Ylee: Correct. SA seems to go through long periods during which the M6 is not available. Then they have a run made.
I waited some years for them to become available.
The last one that I saw retail was bought by a friend of mine about five years ago.

survival rifle

I had one of the old AR7s - when they were being made/sold by Charter Arms. It worked. My son has it now; keeps it on his sailboat.
I opted for a Springfield Armory M6.

four barrels

I would have to choose a German four-barrel rifle. Those four barreled weapons are called "Vierlings". The only picture that I have seen of one showed a SXS 12 ga. with a rifle barrel below the SXS barrel where the under rib would be and a second, larger bore, rifle barrel below that. I have seen s...

Service rifle

We have had a couple shooters almost ace their score on service rifle league shooting.
Yeah. Those guys are almost magical. Your turn will come as you keep at it.
Good luck at Perry.

one

One gun? It would - almost certainly - be a muzzleloader, a flintlock....probably a 20 ga. Fowler.
If not a MLer, definitely a pump 12 gauge. Ithaca 37.

scope

For Bullseye shooting, that should be plenty. Suggestion: use the lowest power that will allow you to make out the holes. I use 24X for 100+ yard scoping outdoors. Indoors, I use 10 or less. You always get the same amount of light through the lens under a given circumstance. Larger images mean that ...

Bulldog

"What exactly do ya got there?" That is a "British Bulldog" pistol (or just a "bulldog"). They were quite popular in the late 19th Century. That one is in very nice condition. It appears to be a .44. Maybe? I have one - just got it - in .38 CF. (common chamberings were .32, .38, .44, .45. BP loads.)...
