Got out to the range again - this time with my Pietta Smith Carbine. It's been almost a year since I shot this gun. As usual, she shot just fine. The first target was shot standing up, freehand at 25 yards. The second target was shot seated at 50 yards. I used plastic shells filled with 30...

Got out to the range again today (twice this week - after not being able to go for 8 months!). Shot my Armi-Sport, 2-band Enfield. All shots seated from 50 yards. Used about 50 grains of Goex 2F with greased Minie ball. A little rusty, but got her zeroed in for last 5 or 6 shots. Beautiful...

Due to a broken foot and work, I have not been able to get to the range since last August. Finally was able to get out for an hour today and make some smoke with my Pietta New Army Remington. I was using homemade cartridges filled with 19 grains of Goex 3F topped by a .454 round ball. I was a...

Got out to the range with my 10 year old son. He was shooting my Pietta Colt Navy. All shots seated from 25 yards using 14 grains of Goex 3F and .376 round ball -- inside my homemade cartridges. http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulthewall/7734583262/...

Got out to the range this morning for a little bit. Shot my Pietta Smith Carbine. This target was shot at 50 yards, seated using 28 grains of Goex 2FG, 515 bullet lubed with SPG in a plastic case. I had a few fliers (me, not the gun). I have shot better with this gun. Had not shot it in a few...

I was able to get to the range for a little bit today to shoot my Armi Sport 2-band Enfield. To start off I used a 1/2" catalog as a target at 50 yards (see 1st picture). It did a lot of damage on the back end (see 2nd pic). Then I fired off some shots at 100 yards. I had a couple of sailors...

I was able to get to the range this afternoon for a little bit and made a lot of smoke with my Uberti Colt Walker. All shots were from 25 yards, standing (see target below). I used 50 grains of Goex 3F with a special lubed conical made by Kaido Ojaama. Any variations were due to my changing the...

I finally was able to get out to the range today for a little bit and shot my Pietta Smith carbine. I was able to do pretty well using 28 grains of Goex 2F with .515 bullet inside a plastic case from Dixie Gun Works. Bullets were lubed with SPG. The 1st target was shot at 50 yards, seated...

Earlier this week I took my 9 year old son and his friend shooting. They shot my Pietta Colt Navy Sheriff revolver. It was my son's second time shooting and his friend's first time. They did really well (see target below - my son is on the right). All shots were from 25 yards, seated. For them...

Just got a new Pietta 1858 .44 caliber Remington. Cabela's had it on sale for $189 plus an additional $20 off!! I couldn't pass it by. Here's a pic:

Got to the range today with my Uberti Colt Walker. I tried out bigger balls this time -- .457 Hornady round balls. I had been using .454 and they were not shaving as much lead as I'd like. Below is my target shot from 25 yards. All shots were made standing using a two-handed grip. I used 45...
