BEAVERMAN:
Kees, what was the humidity yesterday when you were shooting?

I don't know, but probably high as it has been for quite some time here. Next time out I'll use the Hodgepodge rifle which is a known performer. If it has problems also I can blame outside interference. :laffing

Winter Hawk:
The new mainspring is in, and WOW, what a difference! She sparks like a house afire. Now to slip out some morning to see how she shoots. Depending on that I may order a new cock from ML Emporium since this one is the old style and the new style is supposed to have better geometry. We'll see; if it does well, why "fix" it? :laffing

Winter Hawk:
I went out to the range on the 25th to shoot my October targets, with the T-C. She worked well, except for not reminding me that the powder goes in before the patched ball. :Doh! I guess I can't blame the rifle for that! I also had a little problem in that I had changed out the front sight for a Lyman globe sight I had on hand. I took a couple of sighting shots before trying for record. The first shot was way low, holding right on the piece of black tape on a paper plate. I then tried holding at the top of the plate which was high. The next shot i held the base of the post on the tape and was close enough to try the TMA target. That gave me a string of holes, all good for windage but elevation ran from the top of the 10 ring to the bottom of the 8. I have an order in to Track of the Wolf for a couple of front sights, when they are installed I'll give it a try again. I am very please with how reliable ignition was, though. :laughing

No Powder:
I'm glad you were able to fix your ignition woes. If you dry ball a few more times, you can change your screen name to No Powder Jr. I hope you were able to get that ball out without too much trouble.
