Now that right there is the type of group even greaser shooters are in search of.
Nice shooting Bill.

Those were the last five shots on a 14 shot string without wiping or using a blowtube. The temperature was 101, and the rifle was HOT, I mean really hot. I blew up the breech with my mouth after every shot, but I didn't even have a blowtube or wiping stick with me.
Nice shooting Bill.
I had leaded the gun shooting greasers a couple of days before in that kind of heat. After I got the lead out, I decided to run some paper patch through it to make sure the gun was cleaned out, and to see if it would shoot hot. After shooting that group, I may never shoot a greaser in it again. Shoot straight, rdnck.

That is some very fine shooting!
I have never tried shooting my paper patched bullets without wiping between shots. Mind you, even with wiping between shots, and using aperture sights, I've never approached that sort of accuracy.
Chris.
