New Shiloh!

[Freedom]

I finally got me a Shiloh! It was just about brand new, but I had a couple "issues" with it when I first got it so I took it over to Shiloh and Kirk worked his magic on it and WOW she is sure nice now! Can't even begin to express the positive way that I was treated by Kirk and his Shiloh crew (and I wasn't even the guy that ordered it new)!!!

Been working at loads for a while now and some of them have really been promising.

Been shooting the 2F and 1 1/2 Olde Eynsford and a BACO $ bullet and John Olsen's (Big Sky Components) BSC lube..

Here she is a 45-90 (2.4) with a pic of a test group I fired with 2f KIK


.


I shot this group from that rest at 300yards with a fairly good x-wind. One of those flukes...but I'll take em anyday 3 went right in together and then as the wind started to carry me right I added 1 1/2min of left and landed a 4th shot in the cluster.




Been using John Olsen's BSC lube with the Goex OE powder and cannot believe how well the combination works...been a wiper for a while now, but the OE and John's BSC Lube has made a blow tuber out of me...even when temps get into the 90's. Shot the recent SageBrush shoot in Alliance with it and shot 70 rounds in practice without any wiping.

I managed to fall on my sword at the offhand 1000yd match by putting in a sight setting of 181...when my "true" setting was 171 Didn't do much better on Saturday.

But the combination of the Shiloh, BSC lube, OE powder and a some really great spotting from Jim Secrist gave me a 1st place win on Sunday with a combined finish of 7th in the overall out of 115 shooters. It was FUN...Harlan and Tiff sure put on a Great shoot!

Hope to see some of you at the upcoming fall matches!
