Medicine Rocks Finale'

[Freedom]

Thanks Don!...it was a total surprise for me.

I had no idea until they called the 3rd place winner.

Figured the 2 shots that I dropped on the bear sealed the deal for me right out of the gate.

The game of Sillouette really helps add the trigger time.

Black Powder even!!...LOL

My load was 66gr Olde Eynsford 2ff
slow pour 28" drop tube

.010 (or less) as close to zero compression as I can get. I tried it all the way to 78gr with lots of compression but nothing would preform like the zero comp.

.030 gasket material wad w/wax paper under bullet...( I have found a lot of LDPE wads at the ram line to know that you need something to prevent the wad from making the ride.)

Winchester fire formed case, No resizing

520gr Baco M3 Money bullet, hand seated out 2 drive bands made from "who knows what alloy" It was bought as 20:1 but it crystalized so I know it was not pure 20:1

Lit off by a Fed 150 Large Pistol primer.

My rifle is a 45-70 Frankein-Soli 1874 sharps with a John King Green Mountain, fast twist 16.8:1 twist with 2 WET patches (soluble oil and water) and 2 drys between each shot
