Father & Sons Lifter Fun:
Today was the first time out with the 1880 10 gauge Parker Lifter. I experienced a touch of trepidation having never fired the gun. When Breck finished the barrels he also measured them, the thinest point was 44 thousandths with the majority of readings well above 50 thousandths. Being a #3 frame it’s not surprising. Anyway, it functioned like a new 143 year old gun without a hiccup.
My fisherman son Jason went 5 for 5! With only 12 rounds in tow my other son Ross and I touched off the remaining rounds, I think we each dusted at least one apiece. I have video proof of one I dusted. The 10.5 pound gun provides a steady platform.
We took turns shooting another Parker, a Damascus DH and some high tech auto rifles. It was a nice outing, mixing my vintage taste’s with Ross’s modern stuff.

Soft Shooting B&P 7/8 Ounce:
The B&P 1160fps 7/8 ounce loads were used in the Damascus DH today. I was very pleased with their performance, a very soft load.
