Shot a round of clays yesterday using some of the black powder shells I loaded last week. Joined 2 new young shooters and I amazed and astounded them with my 1870's hammer gun and those loads. I only missed a few birds so it was a good example of how effective old guns and loads really are. A gentleman my age following us was explaining to his young sons how black powder is different that modern smoke less loads. So with the pressure on I turned a good performance. It was a bit brisk yesterday so It was nice to feel the heated barrels through my shooting glove. Toasty! Once home it took about 15 minutes to clean the gun. I was not in a hurry. Inspected the barrels today, gave them another quick wipe with Hoppes and then a patch with Slip 2000. Done!
