Daryl,
No 3 shot group, 38" green mountain barrel, white lightning liner, L&R Bailes lefthand flint, .495 ball wrapped with a .026 denim patch cut square, sittin atop 60gr Goex 3f.

That load was used for this trail with all targets. The long gong comp. started at about 75 yds with a 4' oxy cylinder suspended from a tree, at 150 yds I bumped the charge up to 85gr to help compensate for the cross breeze, had to hold a half blade off to ring the gong.
Tom

The best way I know of to ruin a perfectly plain longrifle is to carve and engrave it

Wind plays havok with all balls over much distance, but especially with the smaller ones.
