1:20 Disc & 200 XTPs
I had an opportunity to get a little shooting in prior to the KS heat setting in. We had a big TStorm push through this morning and I hit hit the range soon after it cleared. I picked up this 1:20 Disc this spring and have only tried shooting big lead to date. Today I went with 90 BH209, 200 XTP and a Blue Smooth Harvester. The distance was 75 yards and I shot a 5 shot group to honor Semi.
The Gun:
Range Report:
The very first shot was low and I did not consider it part of the group. I've come to the conclusion that I will be shooting a fouling shot when using BH209. All of my attempts to avoid it have failed. Not a big deal for me.
About a 1" group at 75 yards. Not too shaby. Also, with 4 shims, the breech is spotless. Clean up was a 10 minute event. Love it.

Nothing wrong with that Josmund. Good shooting!
That first shot booger seems to be the norm with Blackhorn. I keep wondering if the first shot would hit in the same place every time. One day when one of you guys has the time and inclination, I'd love to see a "five-first-shot" group, with the barrel being fully cleaned and cooled between each shot.

10 minutes between shots and cleaning?
: 
(Yeah, I would think ten minutes would do it.)

Scotch is for after the sun goes down.
I do enjoy a cold beer now and then. Especially when sitting on the deck of my little hooch at the hunting lease to clean a gun after a range session. HEY! Maybe that's why I never understood why some guys bitch about "dirty black powder". They're not following the correct cleaning procedure.
