slip-fit bullets

[Old Jim]

Got to the range this AM with the 45/90, and its embarrassing to say that all loads were cr*ppy!, 'cept for one F.L. sized load firing a BACO $ bullet and 82.0 Old E. It showed promise, with a 4" group @ 200. So, I returned home, loaded 10 more, with 85.0 of Old E 1.5, then back to the range. Better, 1.75" @ 200 yds. this time, for all 10 shots ..., first 3 in one ragged hole, I'll take it.

For the near future, I won't be testing any more slip-fit loads based on these results. I have some 1.5 Swiss I will try with the same bullet on another day.

Happy Easter to all that visit here,

Jim & Bonnie
