Joe and I had our birthday shoot on Saturday. :shakeshout:

Amongst other things I took one of my Sniders to play with, a MK III, as well as having fun I wanted to try a new heavier boolit in it and fireform some cases. It didn't shoot as well as my current boolit of choice but did show some promise, so some further development needed. Shot 50 .577" Snider rounds and didn't have to clean the bore once, so I think I'm on the route to sorting the lube as well.

Normal grouping with the lighter boolit in the MK111 at 100 yrds is 4-5"s

Here is a short clip (for the few of you that may enjoy watching such things) of Joe touching one off! :goodjob:

It makes me smile at least.

I can't work out how to embed videos in the post but if you click on the image below then it will take you to my Photobucket account where you can watch and hear it.

I see everyone else cleared out of the trenches whilst you were shooting!!! Dodgy loads eh.
Anyway, it looks like a lot of fun.

Aye it was a good birthday shoot and we were well fed too, bacon & egg banjo's, pot noodles, spicy chicken legs,
muffins, biscuits and lashings of tea. My guts were killing me by home time!

And a couple of foties of the MkIII, notice the trusty sight adjusting tool MkI in the pics.

It was quiet a pleasant day actually, started of frosty but warmed up after that.

Your guts were killing you before you got there from the night before.
