Re: Koenig PTO winch
That's mostly what we're doing, too - .22 practice. Got the Single Six running well, and found out it shoots a bit high at 7-10 yds, so next we're gonna try it a 25-50 yds. Mostly we use .22's and a pile of old 12"x24" ceiling tiles I replaced for targets. We set them up on the end of a stack of 4' poplar; the white tile is easy to see from a disance, and the poplar sucks up the lead. Everything gets re-used around here.
We finally found a Contender in 45/410, but so far have only tried the .223 barrel we had before. Made a little bob boo the first time out: The boys were shooting while I was working on the back of the house, and I was too lazy to go get another set of earphones, and never thought about it when I chucked up a .223 in the 10" Contender barrel, 'cause it's so small. "HUH? What'd you say, Son? Oh, THERE's the earphones!" When the ringing stopped, and I got a set of phones on my head, we determined that the .223 needs to be tried at 50 & 100 yds, as it is way high at 20yd. Guess it's really more of a rifle than a handgun.
Since birdy season starts Tuesday, we need to pattern the .410 (maybe Monday), and go for a walk soon. Soon as clapboarding and landscaping and garden work is done, it's time to set up the press and try some of the recipies fishman suggested for the S&W 681, too.
