1889 EH #2

If the weather permits I wanna shoot again next wednesday with the guys I shot with yesterday . If it all works out I wanna try another round of skeet with the EH and possibly a couple rounds of trap .

I also think I'm gonna try it with 1 1/8 ounce loads this time instead of my usual 1 1/4 ounce loads . I don't see why I can't reduce the shot charge by an 1/8 and add another 16 gauge card wad under the shot and it should be all good .

Also wanna load a couple rounds with #1 Buck , a couple with #0 Buck , a couple with #00 Buck and a couple with #000 Buck all buffered of course . After my pre season testing last year I'm sold on buffer in my buck handloads .

Went out today and shot one round of skeet and one round of trap with the EH ended up with a combined 45 of 50 . That unto itself isn't that great until one realizes I was pulling for myself by stepping on the pickle .

Also tried it on the pattern board with handloaded 000 and 00 Buck . This old gun seems to like my buckshot handloads !

Incidently my loads were new for me !

I used the same powder charge of SR7625 but changed the amount of shot from 1 1/4 to 1 1/8 ounce and added an additional 16 gauge card wad in the shotcup to make up the difference . They performed very nicely when I did my part .
