Saturday? Shooting a little BP today! Rifle, Pistol, Shotgun... Actually taking Black Powder today and Black Powder Instructor on Sunday. Two very full days. No real demand for the instructor cert here but if you work with youth groups they require it...

Am watching Jurassic Park again, for maybe the 4th time ? The first time I saw it I was on the fence on the 480 thing. Watching Jurassic Park pushed me right over the edge and now 3 here. The Alaskan on duty tonite, it will have to do until the S333 ThunderStruck gets here. Hope I survive.

Finally get to shoot my 480 ruger sbh with my new ultradot. I have some ammo loaded, all with the miha 386gn large hp’s. I have some loaded with 10gns of unique to get it sighted close. Then I have 10 each with 16.5,17.0,17.5,18.0 of 2400. I am hoping for an accurate load. My lyman cast handbook lists 18.0 as max. It also indicates it is the most accurate load tested. Their testing was with the 400gn rcbs bullet.

Please remember, real BP needs to be compressed some, and appreciates hot primers.

It is really hard to pick a load for my 480 ruger sbh. It seems to shoot everything great. Love the ultradot and the weigand rail. Everything stayed put and tight.

Monday? Shooting! Completed my NRA NMRLA Rifle, Pistol, Shotgun instructor certification yesterday. Spent a wonderful weekend with local fellow instructors and a NRA Training Counselor from Mississippi... I've played with a few BP rifles and pistols in my time but never a shotgun and none to the extreme that we shot them over the weekend.

Spent the weekend working with a new puppy. Getting too old for this.

Had friends with Newfies. Thankfully they do tend to be dutiful and gentle.
