Finally...a Range Report !!
« on: January 26, 2016, 10:56:33 AM »
After takin a year and a half off from such doin's, letting my wrist heal up, the weather was right, the stars were aligned and my aura was green for go so I went shooting. I hit more than I missed, but missed more than I wanted to, both 2 hands and duelist style. All shots were at a couple of cans (they bounce nice), and a steel clanger at 22 yds. The Remie and Rogers & Spencer were flawless, shooting a 452 230g rn over 7.7g of Unique. My newly installed cap rake worked perfectly on the Colt 62' Navy, (20g fff w/lubed wad and 375rb). The NAA Wasp, (22MAG), has tolerances so tight that it binds up after 3 cylinders. But that's OK as I have no intention of getting into a gun fight with it, (fire all five, if I miss or hit and he's not down, toss the gun at the perp and charge with my pocket knife). (@+ &\?

Glad to hear the wrist is healing up so you can get out to shoot. Those cap rakes  work pretty good.  My 1861 Navies sure like them.  Is that Holly on the R&S?
