I shot my Kibler SMR today (.45) caliber. It was the second time I shot this rifle since putting it together back in April and actually shot it in June. My 25 yard target was my highest score to date, my 50 yard is still my nemesis though. I shot a cast roundball .445, .20 patch, Mr. Flintlock lube and 50 grains of Old Ensford 3Fg. My 25 yd number 3 bull was my best shooting today. I really need to shoot more than once a month for sure! Especially the 50 yd range. Tough to see the sights and target with these old eyes.
