Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Just wish I'd gotten it 20 years ago when I was a lot steadier and shooting often.

The 38-55 you traded can do holes that size in one shot!

All my rifles shoot perfect one hole, one shot groups! Smiley

Every time I get a good group going I think to myself I'll stop at a certain number. Then before I reach it I pull one a little, and there goes a great target!

I don’t consider any less than 5 shot a representative group. If I had a few more fingers and toes I could count all the great 4 shot groups ruined by a 5th shot. Maybe I should tell myself that my minimum number of shots is six so I can stop at 5 at times.
