Getting into papers

[Cold Spring]

More experimenting today. There was a small sporting clays tournament at a local club and although I didn't enter the tournament, my friends and I shot the same menu and my VH ended up only 2 birds behind the winner..... 85/100 and the winner had 87 with a Guerini o/u. These paper reloads can shoot. Today I was using "PB" powder behind 1 ounce of 8's. One of my friends brought me about 1/4 pound of Red Dot and I'll try that for the next batch of papers. The reloads with PB smell nice but the consensus of my buds is the ones with 7625 powder smell more like the old time papers when shot. VH had her 12 gauge/32-inch barrel on today. Barrel is choked 25 and 40 points. She sure raised some eyebrows on the tourney shooters while on the course, and especially so when we came in with her scorecard showing 85.

Well done Frank. Got to get me some papers and see how they perform with Clays.

I still say it's the indian more so than the arrow.

Nice shooting Frank. Guess you showed them fancy- pants what a real man's gun could do.

I have loaded several hundred Federal papers and they have all shot well and broke clays as well as plastic hulls. Five reloadings has been my experience. The best aroma has been with Bullseye and SR 7625. PB, Claydot, and American Select smell nice but not as nice as the aforementioned. The aroma of paper seems to complement their use in vintage guns. The problem is locating a good supply.
