Quigley 2015

[Freedom]

My load details Don...

1874 Shiloh Sharps 30" Heavy Octagon barrel (makes weight for Silhouette 12lbs)
45-90 (2.4)

Case.. Starline. Annealed and fire formed, trimmed, debured flashholes, then never touched again..bullets are loose, but I do put a VERY light crimp on them for Quigley to keep bullets from falling out because I like to wear my canvas BPCR belt.

Primer.. Win LR. (what I had on hand?)

Bullet.. BACO 525gr Money 15:1 lead/tin..love this bullet!!

Lube..SPG Pan lubed as cast..no sizeing. John Olsen's lube has worked as well for me in the past when coupled with the Olde Eynsford.

Fouling..Bowtube 6-8 breaths

Powder... 78gr Olde Eynsford 1 1/2f drop tubed

Compression...?? I use a preset die to give me the length I need.

Wad..gasket fiber .030 that I cut myself with a BACO press mounted cutter

Can't say enough about the OE 1 1/2 powder..this stuff hydrates so easily!!..I never cleaned my rifle for the entire 3 days with practice rounds included..about 150 rounds total. I blew 10 breathes at the end of each day and pushed 3 cotton balls through the barrel to be sure I had no hard fouling...Fouling on the cotton was butter
