Just another mould..or two.

[J.B.]

So miracles do happen ! ...They just take longer to get here than I would wish for. Finally managed a shoot in what could only be called near record rainfall for New South Wales this time of year. Splashing through puddles we put some plates up ( sorry no 'no excuses' paper targets this time around ) at 200 and 600 yds. Winds were present but minimal and we were curious if and what effect the rain and heavy humidity in the air would have. Having finished fifty rounds of a Brooks elliptical gg bullet , I turned to the paper patched Acc. mould bullet from the twin cavity mould shown previously. Both Seth Cole yellow and white were used . One shot went low but after a minor 'confidence' adjustment , the next 4 sighters and 10 scorers went home. Load was 84 grns x Swiss 1.5. I'll have to wait until next year and hopefully some drier conditions before I find out how it goes beyond 600 and on paper as well. At 1.33" long it seems to be performing well. The BACo bullet was loaded and ready but time was disappearing as fast as the access roads were closing with flood waters so we had to get out 'right quick' and they didnt get tested ! As I alluded to in an earlier post ...the dd Brooks pp mould is ordered and I'm hoping it makes it here by Christmas. Targets were a 15" disc at 200, a buffalo around 4' high and 5' wide at 600 along with a 2' diamond target at the same distance. A real pleasure to see was one of our newer members , having joined about two years ago, shoot his best score ever . Dropped only five shots in the match and only a few sighters. Think he may have sound his mojo ! Should I forget later... I hope all have a happy, merry, safe and holy Christmas and manage to catch up with family and friends. Take care and fingers crossed they'll let me back in there in June '22.

best regards... Gavin.
