Went to the range this morning to see how they fly. Went really well. Recoil wasn't as bad as expected, barrels shot together, both having a decent group. Loaded them with 180 grains of FFF Curtis & Harvey black and some balls that came from the mold that came with the rifle. Pretty happy with the way it all went.

Over the years I have made 88 Crimping Tools for fellow shooters ranging from 410 bore up to 4 bore. I am now also making the Buckstix Roll Crimping Tool for loading paper shells. Great video and Range Report. http://www.buckstix.com/buckpics/paradox-ammo.jpg http://www.buckstix.com/buckpics/12-roll-3-5.jpg How to Hunt Wisconsin Whitetail Deer with a Cannon
