Re: What are you shooting?
I shoot a Navy Arms Rolling Block in 45.70 or for the locals in America a 45 2 and a half I think, using 63 grains of Wano and a 535 grain Postell bullet at a mixture of 25-1.

Re: What are you shooting?
i have 3 types of rifles for BPCR silhouette
A Pacific Ballard in 43 calibre. Good to shoot but the drop on the stock is a bit much for prone. 100% original 430grn projie pushed by 70grn Swiss 2f.
I have a uberti wogchester in 40/65 shoots a 410grn projie with 62grn swiss 2f.
And I have a original winchester highwall that has been rebarreled to 38-50 remington hepburn. I havent shot a match with it yet but have a nice 320grn spire point that should do the job nicely. I intend to let the Missus use this one as its recoil is a bit more manageable.
you cant beat Bang........................ .................clang fall
