Re: C. Gove SxS shotgun
Vall, that's a nice addition to your collection. I had a Belgian 14-gauge percussion twist-barrel double some years ago and enjoyed shooting it. Circle Fly wads made it a breeze.

Re: The little Super Wrangler
Will, I believe that when I take my time and shoot under normal conditions -- and find the ammo it likes -- it will be a 1 1/2-inch gun at 25 yards, rest. I can't do much better than that with irons.

Re: Anyone still shoot handgun silhouette?
Earl, it isn't so much the monetary value since I use range scrap for 90 percent of my casting. But it's hot out under the Texas sun picking up spent bullets from the berms.

The little Super Wrangler
Well, I took the Super Wrangler to the range today along with a couple of rifles and the chronograph, but the wind at Avenger Airport here in Sweetwater was gusting over 30 mph. The chronograph stayed in the truck. I was in a bit of a hurry to shoot just because of the wind, and the sixgun took some...

Hmmm. Just calculating that a 40-round course fired with say, the Lee 310, would use up more than 28 ounces ounces of lead vs about 22 with a 240-grain boolit.

Anyone still shoot handgun silhouette?
Our local club is one of the last two in Texas that still holds a monthly IHMSA shoot. Thinking of trying a .44 Magnum in a single shot pistol. Wonder what a decent cast load would be for this purpose.
