Lodi scores

[Kurt]

I used two calibers. On Saturday I used the CPA .45-90. It took several shots to find paper because that rifle I just mounted a new DZ on it before going to Lodi but I cant judge how this combination because it was just to tough holding center the way the winds pushed me around sitting on a stool. Even bending over to get a lower profile did nothing but put a goose egg bruce on my shoulder from getting the buttplate out of the pocket Cant remember ever getting one before .

Sunday I used the .44-77 Shiloh Farmer that Steve Rhodes chambered with what he called a tight chambered 7º transition, but it's far from being tight when a polly wad falls out of the case mouth when you turn it upside down
I used two bullets during the sight in at the 1K testing both. One was a bullet from the Sage mould that is 1.457" long .443" diameter and weighs 510 gr with my alloy mix. and it shot very well but I only had 4 shots using it, but it will get tested more at Harris next week.

For Sunday I used the BA 441-505-M. It's 1.440" at 499 gr with my alloy mix. Things were working very well at the 1K but I dropped one off the target around 7 to 8 because of an unseen change but it gave me a 73 with one miss at the 1K so I know this rifle and using a new lot of 84 gr of 1.5 Swiss untested will shoots well with a little work.
