As Wobbly says - there will be a variety of opinions ......
My version ......
1. long nosed pliers - ickle ones !
2. I use 2 dry 1/8" wads and one lubed with Allwoods BPL - all punched out by your truly from hard felt I import from India- when the buggers send it Grrrrrr !
3. Bullets or balls - I shoot both - coated in liquid alox (which is completely unnecessary
- but I like to belts & braces !)
4. Pre weighed vials always ! - weighed out calmly & quietly at home
5. No 10s on the original nipples & no 11s on the Treso ones
6. Dishwasher for cylinder and nipples
they come out looking like new(mine is stainless) . Tooth brush, and bronze brush for frame and barrel, with whatever gun cleaner I have on the shelf
7. 18 grns Swiss No2
....and YES YES YES - it is fun
I also shoot mine with Nitro - as I have a Westlake Nitro conversion cylinder too !
Where will you shoot the gun - which club - is there one local to you on Gerrards X ?
Cheers
Roy
