Re: Isaac Hollis and Son 12 Bore Rifle

Gentlemen,
an offhand target shot at 50 yards last Thursday, fairly windy conditions. Trigger being a crisp 10 to 13 lbs pull, I found I was running out of wind when squeezing off. Still using 4 1/2 drams of Fg, will get around to trying the FFg next time. Loaded off the body with flask, balls not weighed, just eyeballed . First shot is a little low, always is for some reason. I did fire a fouler, just a felt wad to clear her sinuses, after snapping several caps that seemed to work fine, just a slight hang on the first shot with ball. I will get used to that trigger eventually. After my lovely double set triggers on various rifles it is a bit rude !!!P2270059Shot with Hollis by Gordon Hazel, on Flickr
