Painted Mohawk SASS 77785 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I mix up my shooting with sometimes smokeless, sometimes BP [ real stuff ] Last w'end at a monthly shoot I mixed it up some more by shooting my ROA'S & then smokeless in the rifle & shotgun.What fun, I had a great time, shot clean & averaged around 23 seconds for the 6 stages. Always wanted to do it & will definitely do it again...have low profile hammers on the Armies & they worked perfectly. I'd imagine a lot have done this but if not then give it a go, lot of fun !!

Blackwater 53393 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Something that I do now and then is to load up smokeless for all but the last round in each gun! For the final shot in each gun, I load one of my really hot Black Powder rounds! Reminds me that the gun is empty and sometimes gives the RO and the spotters a little thrill! Other times, I’ll just slip in a single random BP round, just for kicks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El CupAJoe Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 As I'm spending more and more time with my cap and ball revolvers, I think I'm going to hold off going full frontiersman for a bit. I love the cap and ball guns, but cleaning them is a chore and I'd rather not have 4 guns to clean after every shooting session, so I think I'll keep Smokeless in the 92 for now, maybe phase in BP in my SG first since it's probably the easiest to clean and as it is a gun from 1900, it likes the BP...

Most times I wait till the 2nd or third stage to do it. Really wakes up the peanut gallery when your shotgun goes bang, BOOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
