Not cartridge: But at a Quigley Shoot I watched a fellow in his 70s, a superb shot, shooting at a 12"x12" plate at three hundred and 75 yards. He hit it one out of three times and close on the other two. He was using a three band Enfield. I was most impressed.

Been awhile for me , but I used to use a piece of clear plastic tubing about a foot long , that would just fit in the chamber . Exhale deeply into the barrel , theory being that the moisture in your breath would soften any fouling allowing for more shots between cleanings.
 
One trick I learned was to punch a thin wax paper card and put that between the vegetable fiber card and the bullet to stop the card sticking to the base of the bullet .worked very well and improved my consistency

That picture was taken down the Bomantan Road wasn't it?
Not quite Koomati, right?
 
I picked up a troop of Boy Scouts there last year. Unless you live out that way it's a pretty good drive to go shooting! But remote is a good word, LOL. Shouldn't get any noise complaints though.
Seen any Rattlesnakes on your shooting trips?
Prime scorpion hunting there too,I'd bet.
 
Yes I have seen a number of snakes ,and I like remote very peacefull except for me making a few booms a good day to concentrate on shooting no destractions.
