1873 winchester .45 colt at the saloon.
Posted: Sun Jun 14, 2020 8:09 pm
Took my Uberti/Winchester rifle down to the range this afternoon to plink on the Bullseye Saloon targets.
From 20 yds. after knocking out the cowboys I went to work on the pair of Aces.
After the session I noticed the knock over bottles were taking some damage from those 255 gr. 45 slugs.
Not the steel itself but the welds were starting to break on a couple where the bottle is welded to the knock over mount.
On one the mount had twisted a bit from a side hit to the bottle but weld had held. Those slow 850 FPS .45 Colt loads pack a good punch!
Brought the two bottle racks home to beef the mounts up.
Note...towards the end of my shooting I started developing a health issue which I will talk about in the Lounge section.
