Just another mould..or two.

They both have shot very well for me and the #6 has shot well for JKR, but I can't really say why or that they would work in any other rifle. When I first began to email JKR and he wanted to know about BPTR matches here in Wisconsin and told me that he had a Shiloh in .45-70 with their standard chamber I thought there might be a chance it would shoot paper patch very well.

JKR is a modest man, but he has a lot of shooting experience in high power and target pistol. Rather than let that experience close his mind to the world of BPTR he has remained open minded and has listened very well to the advise offered him by a number of experienced BPTR shooter. There is a lesson in what he has done for any shooter who wants to do well in BPTR, remain open minded and follow those that are successful.

There are many ways to get there but the journey is shorter if you keep an open mind and follow others who are successful.

He also has the ability to think things through on his own and get over the little bumps along the way that cause other shooters to give up. I could see that early on in our emails and that is the main reason he has been successful with paper patching right out of the gate. It’s not difficult to do, but it seems hard for some to understand and follow some basic guidelines. Those people fail, it’s the ones that can listen and think for themselves that succeed. They just need a push in the right direction and I was lucky to be able to give JKR that push. There are things more important than just winning matches!
