    Cast quite a few bullets the other day,loaded up 48 rounds because that's all the cases I have. Using only 6 grains of VV 320 I will get 1288 loads from a pound of powder.

    Winchester 1873 in 44/40. This was made in 1875 and retailed in London. A fine Lee Speed by Bonehill in Birmingham. Chambered in 303 British,proof marks indicate pre 1914. This Rifle is a real gem in my collection. Hope to get out hunting with one or both some day.

    This is my " Brown Bess" flintlock musket. It is a sea pattern gun,so it would have been on board a sailing ship. I shoot with it now and again,it's a fun way to tempt non gun people into trying a gun for the first time. This one dates from 1820

    Rifling on the left is "Micro groove" the right is regular cut rifling. They say the best barrel length for accuracy in a .22 is between 14 and 16" and the entire powder charge is combusted after about 8".Curiously most .22 target ammo exits the muzzle of a pistol at subsonic speeds.

    I spoke with my Father this evening. He shot a competition over the weekend,shot 107 straight ( first barrel) 13 second barrel ,thats out of 120 targets so he didnt drop a single clay. But that performance didn't even see him on the podium out of 150 shooters. He is 77 years of age.
