The rifle is from a collection of parts I bought from Pecatonica River Supply. The barrel is a 1:16 twist 45 caliber Green Mountain with a patent breech. I shoot 90 grains of FFG Goex, 0.060 fiber material wad, 560 grain straight sided bullet with a Creedmoor nose. The bullet is a bore rider so after wrapping it slides down the barrel nicely. The paper is single wrap with 15# butcher paper or as properly named the Chase wrap system after the old fellow that invented it. The trigger has a 1 oz break after the rear is set.
The barrel floats in the channel with 2 contact points only and the scope in these videos is one of the Chinese Malcolm copies with 6x magnification. This one I bought from a guy back East who decided not to use scopes and I cut the dovetail and mounts for the rear mount which scared the hell out me as I did not want to ruin the barrel. The supplier said it would be 18 months of so before I could get a replacement! One of these days I plan to load up the full 120 grain 1000 yard load just to see how bad that really kicks.
