Hi Guys.
New to the forum, only just found it. I've been active on the US forums for quite a while but never knew there was a native one. Just wanted to say "hi".
I've been shooting for about 9 years now and have only just started reloading.
My main interest is military-surplus, anything from front-stuffing to late war era.
Currently I own:
BSA. No1 MKIII SMLE
Eddy/Reminton. P14
Spandu. G98 Mauser
Original P1853 Enfield rifle-musket
2x Pedosoli Brown Bess Musket
Pieta Colt Navy revolver.
Looking forward to chatting and making friend

Hi.
Thanks. They work really well. I can hit a standard-sized paperback book at 50 yards with one.
It was a rubbish read, so I though "why not"

25?
Twenty five? Now I am confused, I thought people shooting front loaders all smoked pipes, wore corduroy and sported singed eyebrows.

Jeans, a T-shirt and a bottle of pop. I've got singed arm hair... if that counts?
