She is performing extremely well.
It shot the most chickens (9) over three days at Bethune at the 2014 Canadian Shiloh Invitational Match.
It was a very gusty shoot and impossible to hold your rifle on a chicken.
8 Chickens: Bob Bouthillette
8 Chickens: Barry Blomert
6 Chickens: Gene Davids
6 Chickens: Pat Machan
5 Chickens: Ron Jordan
5 Chickens: Mike Puckett
5 Chickens: Don Bird
She is an impressive tack driver even under heavy gusty winds on the pigs.
The Masters at the shoot were quering me how it could hold elevation so perfectly.
My 50 grain load with a 410 grain Money bullet is a bit light and is falling asleep at the Rams.
Plan on testing heavier loads at the Canada-USA Invitational this weekend.

Re: 2012 Canadian Shiloh Sharps Draw
Everyone is suggesting I should move up to 56 grains for my .40-65. This will be .290 compression. Any thoughts on this much compression of Swiss powder?
