a little fun with paper patched bullets and the .45-2.6

[Gunlaker]

Don that board is from last year at Phoenix. That was my personal best target at 1000, 89-1x shot with the Borchardt using greasers. The unplotted pin at the top was the last shot which was an eight. If we hadn't have been too chicken to get a bit more aggressive with the windage we might have convered a few of those nines to tens. But then we might have also converted those nines to sixes :-)

Today I just shot at 200 meters. Unless we get a warm spell, I won't likely be able to shoot past 300 until Phoenix in the spring.

I was happy with how the .45-2.6 shot though. I think I need to lengthen my patches just a touch. I couldn't find much in the way of patch remnants on the ground, the breeze took them away, but there seemed to be a touch of lead in the bore. That big powder charge seems to hit the bullets a bit harder than the 2.1" and 2.4" cases.
