Good round 9 shot

On a very cold Saturday morning (3 deg C on the outdoor range), managed to shoot round 9 of the Kent Winter Black Powder League before I started to lose all sensation in my fingers.

Using the now standard set up of:

Pistol: .36 Mortimer
Powder: 9.1gns of Swiss No.1
Patches: 0.010"
Lubricant: 1:2:12 Lanolin:Beeswax:Neats Foot Oil
Balls: .350" Hornady
Filler: 6.5gns of coarse ground semolina

managed to shoot a very pleasing 87.0 No 'V' bulls, but the first shot was the 10!

Two almost 10's, but the scoring rules state 50% of the shot hole must be over the line for the higher score to count. First time in ages that one of the three shots not to count was in the 8-ring. Usually they are 6's or 7's. Also first time in ages they were all in the black!
