      Handgun and Lever Action Rifle Metallic Silhouette

      Biggfoot They are all 1/2 scale targets. Rimfire is 1/4" thick and centerfire is 3/8" thick. The centerfire targets are for pistol caliber not rifle caliber. If you want you can shoot the pistol caliber targets with a 22lr. With the added weight some pigs may not fall when hit and most rams...

      Roses Store in Ocean City to close

      The Seaford Delaware Roses sold surplus military rifles that looked like they were towed behind the truck on the way to the store.......no trailer. Rumor has it the very old , tired and small Acme will be replaced with a new Acme on the same property. This rumor is not from official sources .......

      Knock Over Some Steel

      floatingboy The closest to you (as far as I know) would be Seitzland Rifle Club, Google says that is a one hour drive from Lisbon city center. They shoot the first Sunday of the month starting in April. Pistol caliber and 22 rimfire, lever action rifle and handgun.

      Shooting a rifle standing unsupported (rimfire).

      I shoot lever action silhouette out to 200 meters. Offhand, no scopes, shooting vests, jackets, slings allowed. This is challenging and fun. There are numerous metallic silhouette games for almost any rifle or handgun you may have. I highly recommend it. Some places in driving distance...

      Thoughts on American Pioneer Powder?

      The card wad is for a reduced load. A full power 44wcf load is unnecessary for pistol caliber silhouette targets. The alloy has nothing to do with black powder. Matching the alloy to the pressure is the same in smokeless powder. Also "hard cast" bullets bounce off of steel targets more that a...

      Thoughts on American Pioneer Powder?

      I honestly don't get it. I shoot in lever action silhouette matches. My main centerfire rifle and caliber is an 1873 Uberti in 44WCF. For the rifle caliber game out to 200 meters I use a 220gr 30-1 alloy bullet, DGL black powder lube ,CCI#300 primers and 37gr of Swiss 2F. For the pistol...

      Why no smokeless?

      ....or tightly pack the 3 or 4 grains of Bullseye by ramming the ball as deeply as possible.

      https://www.seitzlandrifleclub.org/membership Very nice small range. I shoot lever action silhouette there with my 44-40 black powder loads. Give them a look and see if it fits your needs.

      What did I get into?

      I couldn't agree more. What pitted and rusted so many firearms was usually a combination of mercuric or potassium chlorate primers, black powder residue, improper cleaning and the softer steel of the 19th century. With modern steel and primers black powder is not a problem. My 1873...

      Knock Over Some Steel

      It is that time of year again. Most clubs have published their shooting schedule/calendar. Give metallic silhouette a try. I am willing to bet you will like it. One "new game" that is being introduced is .22RF Small Bore Open Sights Rifle Silhouette . The idea is to use an off the shelf...

      Bad day at the range

      TiteGroup is touted as not being position sensitive. I don't know if this is false or the powder just isn't good for rifle distance accuracy. I have had similar experiences as you with Titegroup in lever action rifles and carbines. In 38 special, 357 magnum, 44-40 and 45 Colt. I use Titegroup...
