The .450 #2 passes the test with flying colours!
15/01/07 02:25 AM

Last Sunday I finally had everything jigged up and ready to go. Fired up the torches and soldered everything together with Hi-Force. Spent each evening last week scraping and stoning all of the surplus solder away. Yesterday I set the gun up in my proofing cradle and put 3 "blue pills" down each barrel. No sign of any problems whatsoever. Then fired 3 rights and 3 lefts, off-hand, with the iron sights, at 25 yards. It was very cold and windy, not really conducive to careful shooting, but each barrel grouped into about 1 1/2", about 6" apart, and on exactly the same vertical plane. Should be a snap now to pull the wedge forward, allowing the muzzles to converge more, and bring the barrel groups together. Another grain of powder, and an additional 50 fps should help with convergence as well. After about 1000 hours of labour, and about $3000 invested in this project, I feel as if I won the lottery yesterday !!! Also, the gun is an absolute pussycat to shoot. 500 grain Hornadys, at 2100 fps, were as comfortable as can be to shoot.
