I had some time last month to complete the July '16 match.  Here are the particulars:

Name:  Paul Brasky/Maven
Match:  50 yd.
Rifle:    Isaac Haines/Chambers, .54cal.
Sights: Fixed, U-Notch
Score:  36 (2 in white + 3 in black, none in center) offhand = 11 pts.  5 in center = 25 pts., chunk)

The other relevant information includes a home cast .530" RB (Tanner mould) + .021" (compressed) patch.  Also, I went back to 70gr. Diamondback FFg (my last can) as I found it to be faster than 80gr. Graf's (Wano) FFFg that I used initially.  Btw, the patch lube was 1 Ballistol : 6 water and the patches were just shy of dripping wet when loaded with the Tanner RB.  I didn't need to swab between shots or at all really with that combination, but did so after the first five shots (offhand) just to confirm that the bore & breech especially, were clean.

Is anyone else entering the July match?  Have I posted my results in the wrong place?

I am not going to make it this month.  Too busy.  Gotta fix this.

Well, I improved by 2 points this time out. Was hot and a bit to sunny for my shooting likes, but I'll take it.
