Maid its maiden trip to the range today. Started with the Hex bullets. About the second round during cleaning my new hex jag came off the cleaning rod (I knew I should have pinned it)and was stuck in the bottom of the bore. Well you know what comes next. Pulled the nipple and trickle a little powder behind it (its alright to laugh your ass off) and pointed the gun almost straight down and pulled the trigger. She came out of the bore and hit this rock hard ground and bounced. I spent twenty minutes looking for it and beleave it or not found it about forty yards from where it started. It was no worse for wear. The hex bullets did not shoot well so its back to the drawing board. Next I loaded some grease groove bullets and it seemed to like them. The first three shots went into an 1 1/4" at 100yds. I couldn't resist and fired one more shot and blew the group out to 2 1/2". The gun is definitely picky. Seems like if I deviate anything things go to hell in a hurry. At this point I had to give it up for the day. It was already about 90 out side. Got home and re-worked my lube cookies and made a peep-sight out of my rear sight. Hopefully this will help some in the accuracy. I think I will see if I can come up with some thinner paper and re patch the hex bullets and use some 2FF.
