Now the shoot'n

The double rifle did pretty well. I wanted to try it on the 50 yard which I think it would of been best at. But there were a group of...well....yahoos taking the whole thing up. No ROs out here so if you don't want to get into in with someone about their behavior, you gotta let 'em be and move to the next range.

This was the best group of the day, several bullets and powders/loads were tried. This was 90grs of 777 under a 385gr great plains bullet at 30 yards. left and right barrels should be self explanatory

The two smaller holes would be two .38s that one of the aforementioned goons shot into my target thinking it was their lane

I really think it's regulated for more like 50 yards.

Down the sights on the 100yard, this was just for pure fun. I did manage to clip a orange soda can on the first shot out of the left barrel

All in all I was pretty happy with it. I'm going to try to get some real black powder and and a chronograph and go again during the week in hopes the range will be empty.
