Here's a pic of that bad first group, plus one I shot today. The nicer one was shot with 24 gr Pyro and .454 balls. (And a much better eye!) I'm a little rusty at shooting, and my loads need some more work. I think I'll try to adjust load and sight til it's dead nuts on at 50'. That smaller...

I have a PLR and a levang, but I haven't shot it much yet, it's new, too. ;) It seems to deflect the blast and noise downrange. Makes the gun more mellow to shoot. It's pretty large, about an inch by 2 or so. (It's in the safe so I'm guessing.) You will need to devise a way to tighten it...

Gingerbreadman, I have one on a Keltec PLR-16. It made it so quiet I shot it (a few rounds) without ear protection and it wasn't bad at all. I've only played around breaking the gun in, but a friend who builds AR pistols tells me they spread the group a bit, but the lack of blast in the face...

The duck butter I bought is yellow and smells like wrigley's chewin gum sorta.. It cost 8 or 9 bucks, I might just go back to crisco myself, when this tube is gone.

First shots fired.. OK ! As luck would have it, my left eye went blurry today, (I'm left-handed and it's a recurring condition) but I went out anyway. My bro-in-law knew I was coming so he made some cardboard targets, set up chairs in the shade, he's a dude.. Anyway, sitting in a lawn chair...

Omnivore: Yeah. I just looked up those Treso's, the nipples have smaller flash holes to keep more gases headed for the muzzle, and won't beat down easy.. I ordered some from Possible bag store on the net. As my eyes aren't so good, my gun better have a little edge. (Not to mention I needed...

Yeah, I've already decided to skip the 777 stuff. It has few friends around here, which put me off the idea. Thanks again for the input.

Omnivore: "cap crap" jams." yep, I can see how a 58 would be likely to do this. The upside is it is unlikely to spit cap debris in your face. My 51 never jammed but it did spit one at my cheek one day, but it was just a scratch. I wear prescription safety glasses all the time, so I'm cool...

Omnivore: Cool gif! That young lady is demonstrating good technique, and I see she hit her plate, too. :) I already cleaned the new gun this evening, but I didn't take the innards out. The bore was fouled and the gun had its proof firing dirt here and there. The action is much improved and...

mykeal: It seems odd that a faster burning powder would work better in long guns, when pistols normally respond well to fast burning powders due to their short barrels. I'm put off mostly by its dislike of compression. The way these old revolvers are rammed home makes it tough to hit a...

Whatever a SITPEP is, I'll try to get one out! If I can round up all the 'stuff' mebbe Sunday I can make some smoke... Thanks all for the help, ya'll keep your powder dry.

I like shootin cans and claybirds and sticks and such. Anything that bounces around. :)

Nice! I was writing that post while you were writing yours, but that rig looks very cool. When I get to shooting I'll try those lube pills. I wonder, mighten they cause some powder to get wet and not burn thoroughly? Damn, this gun is more dainty than I imagined, IT SEEMS LIKE A MODERN...

It arrived in fine shape! Wow. The fit and the finish are perfect, the timing looks ideal, the gun is the most gorgeous handgun I ever had, and the wood is SWEET. Front post is dovetailed and nice and high. I see why they foul quickly, it's very tightly built. The action is fairly heavy...

Uhhh, if yer holdin that there pistol, I bes go with good ol black powder... I knew it would be the best for steady good performance, but my gun (if it ever gets here (damn the UPS man) has a fancy dan finish, sort of a brushed nickel, and I figured it would need less polishing if I avoided...

I like the bore butter as a way to keep the fouling softened up, and it may help the ball enter the forcing cone smoothly. Plus I'm in my fifties and we always sealed em with Crisco. It's an interesting question, thanks for your input! Ah so! That stuff is hot and touchy.. hmmm. The Unique...

Hey Thanks for the fast responses, guys! You're right about taking time to enjoy new hobbies. If you push too hard, you burn out and go away. I only work on it when I feel like it. I've been slicking up a russian double barrel off and on for over a year.. I've always been fascinated by...

Hello all! I'm a new guy here, but I'm not new to shootin' in general. I reloaded for the .357 and .44 magnum. I'm a pretty good shot with any rifle, never learned to point and shoot pistols, (you know, gunslinger style) though. Anyway, after a 20 year break in the BP action, I just bought...
