A little black powder action. Pops. Canyon wall of Antelope Falls. The falls. Petroglyph's. All in all a great day with my dad and a friend. JYD # 19

Thanks for sharing. Men you can't trust, women you can't trust, beasts you can't trust, but Bussekin steel you can trust

A 75 grain load seemed to work quite well for us. Aamazing that a soldier would get off a round every 20 seconds with one. My black powder experience is very limited, but I definitley want to learn more. We have done quite a bit of training in this area and there is always something new to find. I had not been to these falls before. Apparently Pancho Via hung out here back in the day. There is a Spanish fort from the 1600's not too far from where we were at. We pass it on a Jeep run that we do from time to time. JYD # 19
