Problem I see with a Rolling block, is the inability to cam a shell in a touch with a Patched to Groove or DD bullet.

My Roller cams them in just fine!

Brian, that 40-50 looks a lot better than your last one.

As long as you don't post that 0.001 target the last day of the match, we're good. Give us peons something to strive for.desert deuce wrote: ↑Tue Nov 07, 2023 10:20 am
As for SEMTAV's implication about me posting targets, an admonition. Be careful what you ask for, you just may get it.

OK, who broke the oath to silence and divulged one of my .001 targets? BTW, I cast my own bullets.

Re: 2023/24 Ice Age Postal
The conditions where good this morning with w 8-O-Clock guessing maybe 10 mph wind but the sun was bright and this made it good for me to see through the smudge in my eye to get a fair sight picture through the DZ 8X scope the Hepburn has on it.
I also took the CPA .38-50 and that rifle has a High Lux 20X scope on it that has brighter glass that lets me see better at 200 than the DZ scope does but the load that shot well in the photo I posted before did not do well again this morning with the best I got out of it was a 5x4" so I used the DZ Hepburn .38-50 with the 8X DZ scope.
And I used the Hepburn for the 10 string shot.
Brian I think this will be the only one I will shoot. I just cant see well enough till I get my eyes fixed. I'm scheduled for eye vitrectomy surgery and they will do the Cataract also. And that is a good two for one.
The DZ 5 for 5t

Re: 2023/24 Ice Age Postal
Here is the CPA 10 shot with the 20X HiLux scope.
I havent figured out what is going on with this rifle. It is up and down. I think it's just me with the light changes, but I have another .38 barrel on order and this .38 barrel will end rebored to another another .44-75 Ballard maybe.

Re: 2023/24 Ice Age Postal
guess I better have them fix the vacuum between the ears too.
The bullet is the BA 371-358 DDEPP Arnie drew up for the .110" freebore the Hep has. It drops out at 356 gr with my alloy of 1 roll of 95/5 no lead solder that is 95tin/5% Antimony with 18 lbs lead these bullets where cast with.
If you want a good side profile I can take a picture and post them.
