A little range time & Goex Black Dawge BP cartridges

Post by 2ndovc »

As much as I wanted to go to the leveraction shoot in PA this weekend I just couldn't get the time off.
So I got out with the 94BB/ .444 chasing the ever elusive perfect load.
Not there yet with my handloads but can get nice cloverleaf five round group with the LeverEvolution stuff.
The problem is the LevEv. stuff doesn't feed really well in the 94. I really have to bang the lever down
to get the next round all the way out of the magazine.
Oh well. All part of the the fun of a new rifle :D

Next up was my Win. 92, 44-40 that belonged to my Grandfather. This was just for fun.

I haven't done much reloading for this one as I got a lot of ammo for it when he passed.
I had some light loads I'd made for a Navy Arms Schofield that I don't have anymore.
Nothing good there but the big fun was the Goex Black Dawge ammo

What a BLAST! Smoke and flame and Big Smiles! Good shootn' stuff too!
This was off hand at 50 yds after getting a little beat up by the 444!

Since I knew I'd be down there awhile cleaning that 92 so I did a little straightening up too.
That post with all the nice clean reloading rooms made mine look like a bomb hit it. :oops:

Loaded stuff.

Just a fun day shootin' Love those Winchesters!!!

Sounds like you had a good time. :D If you think your reloading room was a mess I tried to take a pick of mine and the camera broke half of my stuff is on the floor or still in boxes from our move over the summer.

Thanks Jeremy,

I'm still looking for some stuff from when we re-built this four years ago. I know I've got a couple .30 Lyman molds somewhere.
Darned If I can find them.

I love the BD stuff in my Buffalo Classic! I gotta try it in the Marlin 1895 though... :mrgreen:
