BALLS!! Said the Queen. Had I but two, and I'd be KING!! Now, twouldent that be Fun!!
Where was I? Oh yea ... Balls ..
In the past, I have been known to make what were, in those Halcyon days of yesteryear, called "Gallery Loads." Normal cartridge cases, with a reduced charge (fillers in the past) and topped with a round ball. Very light recoil and perfect for those who practice recreational
paper punching. Or ..... Practicing for the Duel, as it twer. Where was I going .....?? Oh Yea ...... Balls
Yesterday, had occasion to shoot a "Planesman" match with a friends rifle. 45-70, I believe to be a "Handy Rifle." I don't know what his
actual load was and forgot to ask, but the load was topped with big 'ol Round Ball. Out to a hundred yards, it shot like a laser. And,
a pussy cat for recoil. Really fun rifle with that load. Really light little rifle. With a full case and 405+ bullets, no fun atall I bet.
