Not a bad day so I headed to the range. A little cool and a light breeze but learned a lot about this new Ballard.

I used one case that I forgot to anneal so it was pretty beat up by the time I was done.

All bullets breech-seated with the seater I adjusted above. 13.5gr 4227 (an old standby load) Remington large-pistol primers, No cleaning between bullets or lube. I grabbed whatever .32 caliber bullets I had lubed and did it.

The rifle has a fold down Lyman front sight with a pinhead that folded down after every shot ;-). The rear POS sight would not go low enough so I aimed at one plate and hit on another.

With the plates at 60 yards I could see even white around the pinhead so I shot everything at 60 yards.

I'll scan and post the targets.
