Shot her some more today from a rest. The first six shots were 12 gauge rifled slus that i expanded out in the bump up die i made. They grouped the best. Don`t know why the patched RB arn`t grouping well.
Middle group is the slugs.
Target was at 20 yards from a rest.

Looks like we know what you'll be using for deer next year. Those slugs shot great.
Good job Len.  dntn

Thanks RM, i`d like to tighten up the round ball groups.
I think i need to spin some sand paper in the bore to smooth it a little.

Pitchy

Ok, yesterdays patches were all burnt up indicating that patch ball combo was to loose. Used two patches and the group tightened right up.

Here`s a pic of the snow bank i`ve been shooting into, not one hole out the other side. Those balls will be all laying on the ground without a scratch on them. Of course ya want to make sure you have a good backstop anyway.

Pitchy you've got her working now.  That's a great group considering.  That snowbank sure looks cold!  Wildflowers will start blooming down here soon.  The bluebirds are back too.  :D
