this is the best target of the day ...

Looks like I got the barrel screwed in pretty good as far as sight alignment. The gun shows some promise so I will see what I can get it to do.

I tried some 16o gr. wadcutters .. I loaded them over 4 gr. 231 ... they shot into about 4" at 25 yards. I tried them in my Model 340 S&W and 5 shots leaded the barrel nearly solid! So I guess I will try a couple different powder charges and see if I can get them to work. Maybe I was pushing them too hard? I will go with Bullseye as it has always worked for me.

- Sounds like the alloy was funky, too soft/hard?! (nm) - WB, 2020-10-20, 12:36
  - I think its too hard. I will try some other powders - Jim Taylor, 2020-10-20, 12:38

      - That conjures up many naughty thoughts and deviations. - WB, 2020-10-20, 13:03
        Yes .. it does work. I had not thought of it though. (nm) - Jim Taylor, 2020-10-20, 13:09
      - GREAT IDEA! I will try that. (nm) - Jim Taylor, 2020-10-20, 12:56
