    It works, shots are consistent.
    Carl - you are allowed to use BP on an indoor range? How often is it washed down?

    Just remember that 30gr by weight of Pyrodex P = 33gr of FFFg.

    Fairly stiff load, that.

    Three inch groups at twenty five yards my arse, you always had trouble hitting the backstop.

    Haven't seen you making smoke for a while Andy.

    Ah yes James, but I have now learnt not to be afraid and shoot with my eyes open now

    Still shooting at brpc but have to make do with Monday nights or Friday as the sods won't let me have Tuesday off!

    Just bought an uberti cattleman pistol as well, so will be annoying the serious target shooters a bit more after the new year. There was a chap with a .22lr free pistol trying to concentrate next to me last week and I think he was getting a bit piss*d off trying to shoot through the gloom

    Merry Christmas to you and yours

    Andy.

    I've experienced the mental waves of hate bombarding me from the next booth, people running out coughing and spluttering and with watering eyes. (Note to self. STOP EATING SPROUTS).
