While many are taking the good weather to put up their Christmas Decorations not this Griswold. The breeze made the gunsmoke float away as the gong at 75 yards kept ringing. Taking turns with my Marlin in 45Colt to match my Calvary Model Colt, these two American Made Classics turned in a great performance. The Leather Rig was made for me by John Bianchi back in my fundraising days. I was asked by a fellow shooter where I got a 50 round box of cartridges as he thought 20 was the only way they came today unless you get bulk packs. Kids. I only load 5 in the Colt unless my guts tell me to load six. The Marlin was chocked full of 10 in the magazine and one in the chamber. Today's load was a 260 Grain Hardcast bullet over 7 Grains of Unique. Today was good to shoot the old guns. Now I have the opportunity to clean them. For me, that is fun too!
