Torador breeching.

Archer,

Please do not hold your breath on the clay balls! You will go a funny colour.

The ground is very frozen and must thaw first, and before that, the foot or two of snow must melt. It has been cold this winter, and minus 30C to minus 38C or more not uncommon.

(Coldest recorded here was Minus 91F!.............with the wind they reckon.)
Froze a lot of cows that winter.

Re clay balls;
Been thinking how they could be made a consistent size. A mould with relief grooves to allow excess to 'squidge' out seems practical.

More than likely just roll a ball and see'f it fits!

Hi Richard,
Any suitable lead mold should do fine. I’m trying to say decide whether to get snow out of Drive or off deck first. Steve

Embarrassed, I STILL have not had my Torador out for test firing

Between regular work and working on gun projects, I don't seem to find the time. I have so many guns that need test firing, including the Torador.
But I'm going to change this situation starting this Spring.

I can imagine the clay balls acting as a crude form of shot after leaving the muzzle. Would be interesting to try that out at about 15 yards.
