Very Nice Bob! Looks like a fun one.

Now you just need some old british loads from the 1930's loaded with cordite...
Wait, I think I might have some ? But they have terrible pimers and only about 25% actually go BANG !

I had about 700-800 rounds of cordite blanks. Sold em all to an unsuspecting rube!  .

sooo coool

It is better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.

I believe when it decides to get a bit cooler, the two of us are going to have an 1895 weekend up to the ranch. Who knows, perhaps a hog or two will succumb to the onslaught.
Strictly a low key affair. But I'm sure beer and fresh elk steaks will also be involved. And some sipping of spirits at the end of the day.
More to follow.
