    What ever I fancied mate, on a hill side usually.Rabbits this side of 400 yards were at serious risk.

    I use to plink a 308 to beyond 1200 yards, with a 6x scope lol. It's good fun.

    Can't help you bud, I did all my own trigger mod to the stock units on the three I had. I swore I will never buy another 700 unless a pre 90s bdl! U.

    A rough wind here this morning and i needed meatloaf produce. So I got my fave single 12g and walked the ivy clad hedges for wood pigeons. It was not long and three were in the bag with a fourth lost. Still three is enough. A grand walk. U.

    I took this snap. Only popped around the farm to walk the dog and shoot a few rounds but on the way back bumped into this stumpy faced dog fox. I was empty too! I slipped a couple HV in the mag and chambered a round only to have him just 50yds away and broadside to me. He ran ten yards and piled up. Jess got stuck in too! Better than TV any day ! U.

    It's also a myth that the fouling will rot a gun before your eyes! The fouling contains salts. If no mineral oil products are used and only vegetable or animal oil based fats the salts are held in suspension. Mineral oil can not carry salt so it can still react with the iron. Sometimes I don't clean my guns for days thanks to nothing more than an olive oil based grease. Just don't get it around the nipple or in the breech or it will spoil ignition. U.

    Best not pour from a flask, if an ember is down bore (rare) the flask could explode. I pour into a measure then down the barrel. For the .45 Kentucky I use a cut down 444 marlin case as a measure tied to the bag. For my larger guns I use home made antler measures. I have used just cut down shot shells before now. I do sometimes make pre measured paper cartridges yes. It speeds up loading a little. Here is an old photo. Percussion caps are widely available yes. U.:-)

    Comparing to a modern shotgun is folly but if one wants to get back to basics and hunt smarter and harder then this makes for a satisfying style. This .45 reaches 30yards with 5/8-3/4oz of shot. 50+yards with a single ball or my favourite, two balls. I make my own lubricant for the bore and external protection. Olive oil mixed with melted candle wax. For wads I just buy leather punches and stamp card or leather. Beer mats and old felt hats work too. Black powder is very forgiving load wise. The big no no with black powder is that there must be no cavity between powder and pay lo

    It's a .45 Kentucky rifle without the rifling!Generally called a smooth rifle. It means it can shoot shot and ball. This one was made by armi sport about 1983. U :-)
