No shooting this weekend as I went to the Trafalger meeting at NRA Bisley to restock on black powder bits and pieces.
Got spotted by another Club member and ended up being roped in to help out with RO duties for the Classic [pre 1919] and Veteran [pre 1946] class Service Rifle competition [shooting tin-hat targets at 200yds]. Lots of fun, and a great chance to see rifles such as SMLE, No. IV, Long Lee, Ross, P14 and some odd calibre training rifles in action.
After a chili and chips lunch at the Army's club house, a stroll round the arms fair resulted in purchases of .015 lubed patches, No. 11 percussion caps, .350 lead balls and 1kg of Swiss No.1 powder.
Still need a few other things, so I'll generate an order to Krank's to get those.
