this is for you guys on this board who had questions on sabotless shooting of s.m.i. douglas barrels.
ok guys here are the preliminary results of sabotless shooting with my ruger no.1 .45 cal.
65 grains of h-322 and felt wad with a parker 275 grain ballistic extreme. nothing was done to the gun except dry swabbing between shots, no velocity readings were taken. it was an absolutly miserable day. it was raining and the ground was saturated with water. my table was sinking my chair was sinking everything was sinking!!!! but you can see the results.
first target was first 9 shots then i fired the last three on a fresh target. now i think my gun will shoot better with a different powder. more testing to come. with hopefully better weather.
i think you guys will see that the douglas barrel will shoot sabotless.
