Hey Laramie guys

RE: Hey Laramie guys
I shot a LR match last weekend at Lodi, WI. The shooter on the next target in my relay was not doing well, not even fair.
So in the pits I was asking him what he was shooting. He was shooting smokeless powder in a 45-90 Shiloh. He claimed that he was doing very well at matches from 200 to 600 yards, so figured that a moa load shooting 300 yards would be just the ticket for LR, even though some of his friends told him that smokeless would not get the job done a 1K. His extreme spread was somewhere north of 50 fps, and you can imagine the vertical issues he was having. The next day some one gave him pp loaded 45-90 [straight BP] ammo to shoot and it was amazing how well he shot the BP loads.

Live and learn.
Keep on hav'n fun!
