“WOW” is all I could say. It took time to shoot one round and patch over and over again but I ran 10 patches through each and then shot 100 rounds each after that. I gained about 3 inches rise on the 30/30 and after 100 rounds I pulled 2 patches through (dry) and the second patch was clean. I put some CLP on a brush and pulled it through several times and then a wet patch and it was wet but clean.
So, here are some pictures I took this weekend. I hope you enjoy (and envy, perhaps? LOL) all the beauty that surrounds me in Southside Virginia…
