Dave: it was a fun match and that wounded chicken needed to be scrap. Made me feel better about the ram that must have been welded to the rail. I have to do a few test loads on a new lot of powder then maybe get a few loads to try on the new PP mould. LB

Hi IR---------------the Shiloh will get final specifications next week, i'm working on finding the right stock blanks right now----------basically the prize is a $2000 certificate against a new Shiloh-----i'lll have the details worked out soon and the other logistics of wood and such next week with any luck---then it will go to build------It will be #1 Sporter heavy, polished octagon---selected presentation grade wood, 3A finish, pack hard case finish and other assorted niceties----no engraving or checkering.

The Patched loads were 74 gr swiss 1 1/2 napa fiber overpowder wad, 0.150 grease cookie, milkcarton wad under the bullet----0.446 Brooks Money bullet 517 gr, 0.446 wrapped with masterstouch tracing paper dry and sized to 0.4505.

The load is a compilation of information from Kenny, Brent, Kurt, and several other folks and discussions here and on Shiloh and Castboolits----the help i received was critical to getting this far and we're not finished yet -----as far as keeping them in the center thats LUCK !!!

Hey kokomo----it was a hoot for sure, confetti and flying chickens welded rams and all-----hope to see you and danny again at a match soon !!!!!

That "varmint silhouette highpower match" at WHGC sounds like a fun time we'll see

Keep well and stay safe
