Blast from the Past...literally

Post by perfectionist1 » Sun Feb 10, 2013 11:04 pm

Hi Guys,

I had a little break, was out of connectivity.

Well, the reason was that I far off in the woods, there I fired 6 rounds of 0.32 rev ammo, IOF made, but the difference was that was 23 years old and were purchased by my father for his webley way back then.

I shot it from my new IOF rev, well both long and short were fired and to my amazement, were better than the new IOF pops, since then had a better charge, or to say sounded bang, and the kick was somewhat more than the new ones.

I had apprehensions before shooting such old shots, but with assuring feedback from fellow IFGians, in posts earlier, I tried and glad I did.

Shot few of my new ammo as well.


In the old ammo, there was no spent casing expansion or cracks, primer was good (no delays).


we fired a few rounds.....from my grandfather's Isaac Hollis 12 bore double barrel, shot no.1 KF, was smooth as butter.


Cheers....
