Ok 303,,, it's been 48+ hours since that rifle arrived, it's about time we saw some shooting results, or there could be severe fines asssessed....

I did shoot it today using 450 grain bullets. These were just my first shots and my main idea was to fire-form some cases. Next those will get reloaded with heavier paper patch bullets. But my grouping wasn't too bad. In fact, you could just barely cover each bullet hole with a dime... Shooting that gun was cool, a lot of fun, no terrible kick. Maybe I'll get kicked later, with the heavier bullets.

And for Christmas I got a new bullet mould. This is a one of a kind, a paper patch for a 480 grain bullet. I'll give it a try tomorrow. And Merry Christmas to everyone!!
