420 grain lead projectile, 50 grains Holysmoke FFG, 50 metres off hand, pretty pleased! Attachment 90421
Im fast developing an itch that needs scratching....... these big old slow smoke poles are getting in my head. thats a very very dead deer right there .
Lots of fun, out of 20 various sized silhouettes I dropped one shot, off hand shooting, best I’ve done for a while and with a new load, usually use 63grains FFG and a 500 grain projectile!
how about a pic of the gun ?

Yep drill a hole in the nose of the projectile and I’ll be away! Will have a play on the Taupo range first out to 100 metres
