C. Sharps Big Fifty?

JB, that 51-550S seems to be working really well in the 1X26 twist. Hope they maintain stability to 500 yards or so as with the barrel sights I probably will not be running them much further out than that. Not too bad for a Buffalo gun! I'll keep posting my results with these rifles and loads so new shooter's have a idea for weighing and dropping powder, seating a good bullet and just taking them out to shoot. Easy...peasy! I'll be working on getting a good sight picture and smooth trigger pull and making every shot the best I can. The exchange of information made possible by the internet is really a huge benefit for all of us. I asked Tom at Accurate Molds if he could scale up the 44-410P to .50 caliber and he has listed just such a mold. 51-590P. My order is in and I can't wait to give it a good try. A .504 base diameter, patched to .512 seats snuggly in my Starline fire formed cases. That section is .400 long and then tapers off to .493 into the ogive. Should be just about perfect for a two dimention paper patched bullet. I plan on using it for banging steel and hunting.
