Nope, not shaken nor stirred, just shot. Took Papa, Mama, and Baby to Woody's for some shootin' fun.
This is Papa (Martini Henry MkIV 577/450) and Baby (Martini Cadet .310)
and Mama (Martini Enfield .303)
Papa's target at 100 yards. The bullet I use is .002 undersize since I don't bother to paper patch so the rifle actually gets more accurate as the bore fouls!
480 grains of persuasion pushed along by 80 grains of FFg equivalent. You have no doubt when you shoot this round!
The .303 was the most accurate of the three at 100 yards shooting factory S&B ball but the incredibly hard trigger pull makes it hard to get the good shots. I had to hold at 7 o'clock to get in the 9/10 ring.
Lots of fun...now to clean!
