Good shooting

You asked for a range report thread here it is. I don't think we have one,and I don't think anyone will complain it is now a sticky

For a 22lr to cycle you want at least ammo having 1200+fps

I think just a piece of shim stock would help with the barrel, and try moving the barrel all the way forward or all the way back. one or the other might help it did with mine

Hoping to get some range time this weekend, lots of work needs done, but I may sneak out for a bit.

Yeah I know that feeling but the work will still be there when you get back.

I have to get a picture of my CVA Hawkins

Got the powder and RWS caps. No more waiting for the Mag Spark. I will test out what I have tomorrow and report on that.

Have you seen these rws percussion caps about 12 years old
Notice powder price,

My cloth bag might put some lead in your home brew.

I have an old horn for powder my Dad said it was my Grandfathers. I will try to post a picture later

The rounds in the picture are 175gr What grain of projectile and powder are you going with Hombre?

 

[FOUR4D4]

Being a .45, the round balls are either 127.xx gr or 133.xx gr. depending how pure the lead is I pour them with and how accurate the Lee molds are that mold them. I won't be using any conicals or maxis. It has a 1/66 twist.

After I aasked I thought there wouldn't be much of a difference in round ball projectile weights, at the same caliber.
