THEBASTARD001 by Rick Mulhern, on Flickr Before I developed two herniated disc in my back and could shoot prone I took THE BASTARD out and tested these PP loads from 1000 yards. I shot ten rounds just testing to see what the vertical would be and if I had corrected for wind all shots would have been in the 20" ten ring. As it was the rifle still delivered a 98. 68999d9b by Rick Mulhern, on Flickr

Just went and patched 40 more 705 gr 50 cal bullets, they'll be ready for a rooster lube dip tonight, then ready for loading and the shell belt in the morning.

I put four of these rounds into a bit less than 2" group the other day Woody, it's 110 grs of Schutzen 2FG under these 705 gr paper patch bullets.
About to go out and chrono five to get an average velocity and es number, I'll report back.

Got a buddy that lives two miles north of me and he told me a while back...."You've been shooting that cannon again!" He told me I can tell when cause that big bullet hitting that steel is a lot louder than that .45 of yours!
He's right....it is a very distinct difference!

That would make a tyrannosaur weak in the knees! LOL, would love to bust a bison square on the shoulder at a quartering on angle to see if he gets weak in the knees. Agreed Rick and Kurt, my 50 has a distinctly different sound than all my other black powder cartridge rifles, I've heard a slight high pitched whine just in front of the BOOMMM, damn near sounds like field artillery.

One day I shot my .45-90 at the public range, and it was mostly people shooting black rifles. I touch off the first shot, and through plugs and headset, I hear a woman yell, "what the f___ was that?!" A .50 might be even more better
"...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."
