The Outland family did another bang up job of putting this match on. Lots of work has went into the firing lines and the pits.
24 shooters? Worked thru the heat and the wind, with some pretty good scores put up.
Hope to have the score sheet pretty soon.
Plan the first weekend in June next year.

Nicely done Don! Who were the PP shooters and what rifle did you use?

Eddie ,Shawn and myself were the patch shooters may of been others but I don't know.
I shot the 77 Shiloh, 45-90 standard chamber, Brooks dual diameter bullet cast 16-1, wrapped in SC 55y. Jamison cases primed BR2, 82 grains OE 1 1/2f, thin napa rubber cork wad 44/45 caliber Muzzleloader original dry lubed felt wad. Wiped between shots with BACO bore wipe system, felts wet with Napa cutting oil water (1-7) followed in 2 1/2 in dry flannel patch.
Altho there was one shot at 600 I didn't wipe LOL . Knocked a couple of rounds out of the line box, Robert and I were talking about the weird things we were seeing in the flags and mirage. In all that confusion, I stuffed another round in the chamber closed the breech and fired... Luckily enough it came up a 6 at 10,, but it wasn't as good as the 9 and 5 in the previous shot. LOL

As soon as the round went off I knew what I had done. Robert said geez where did that come from I didn't see that much change. I laughed and said I'm just glad it was on paper. Told him what I had done, we laughed, but he did say, Cripes I thought you could do that wiping thing in your sleep. LOL
