I got to shoot this thing.

What a great shooter!

With my eyes I can keep the slug inside the nine ring at 25 yards consistently.

The sight is way too short but once I figure the right height for the sight, this thing is going to be a real pleasant surprise.

I am using the 405 gr slug from the Lee mold. Triple Seven with powder to the bottom of the bullet an no compression drive the slug to about 1200 fps.

I use both lard based lube and mutton based lube interchangeably with identical performance.

I love this rifle so much....I might make another one.
