This is Dave's standard Black Powder load in his match rifle (1866). Dave crams every grain of powder in that 44/40 case he can.This is REAL black powder and not a substitute. This load would be illegal in California.

It makes me proud to know Dave!!! ;D ;D ;D

Forgot to mention that Dutch is the one that took the photo of Jed this month. Dutch also keeps our web page (Scarlet Mask Vigilance Society) and the Great Lakes Freight & Mining Company site as well. Dutch does an outstanding job!

And to think ... I taught him all he knows - 'bout BP.

A year ago he didn't want to try BP.  I had to drag him kicking & screaming to do it.  Now he's hooked and has
worked (and convinced) Bart ("Black Bart" Stewart) to go Black.  (With a little help from me)  The clincher was the National shoot ... that I had to miss due to a visit to the horse-pistol. (hospital)  Now, we're workin' on Tony H. (Will Munny)

;D

I'm Very proud!


;D ;D ;D ;D ;D


Too bad Dutch couldn't get my muzzleblast ... I get even MORE BP in my shells!


Thanks for the great picture Dutch - and everything else!

Frisco, The way fire spreads there, I could burn up half the state! Don't recon folks would be too happy with me bout that. :o I have caused a few fires on our range as well as at Great Lakes. Just little ones though ;) Jed

Howdy Jed - long time no see. By the look of things you're doing fine with that smoke pole you're shooting.

I have one request for you: See if Dutch can capture an image of you firing that mighty fine .50-70 SNY Rolling block of yours. Now that would be a picture (Be careful not to burn OCB's range down though....)
