Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 10 gauge H & R single shot. Just thinking I wanna shoot some real boomers before I end my shooting time. Thought this would be a fun occasional toy. --Dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 I bought an H&R 10 gauge single shot. Gonna trim the barrel down a bit, get some regular wood for it, and shoot some black powder thunder-boomers every now and then. Just a fun gun for occasional use. --Dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trooper Ozzy Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Smiles a plenty...I now shoot that original 10 ga 1887 Winchester and an original 10 ga 1883 Remington hammered sxs. Bite the bullet and buy those $8 brass shells from Track of the Wolf. Im up to 2 boxes. Buy the shortest length ones. Circle Wad is the place to go. (9 ga wads and overshot cards, recycled pellets, hot glue gun, reenactor BP powder 80-95 gr whatever gets you a square load with 1 1/8 oz shot cup) Also...cut a square of 0000 steel wool and place over powder before the over powder wad is inserted. You'll thank me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trooper Ozzy Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Prairie Dawg. Here's a photo of supplies and the thickness of the shells. Yes they are thin. Cusz M Dutch. LOL. Notice there's still some room for loading for the night shoots! Based on your alias wouldn't think you'd be putting in any excess. All the dutch guys I know have green fingertips from holding on so tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the dutch guys I know have green fingertips from holding on so tight. When I shoot my 10, I want the whole range to know about it. I want the RO to start complaining before I even start to shoot. Once knocked the snow off the cover of the wishing well in Grand Junction and covered the RO and myself when we had to shoot between the uprights for the cover. It makes my heart smile when the RO starts to whine before you even shoot. There might be other reasons for my alias ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
