LOL, your gonna have to knock the dust off a stack of those mallards Tex, Sharpsman here has a nice bull gun he may sell.

May as well bite the 50 cal bullet and get it over with ;]

I still have a .38-55 that needs shooting, too...

The more the merrier, a 265 gr cast performance bullet and a hefty charge of RL-7 will put you and that 38-55 in a very good place provided you're not gonna shoot black in it.

It's a Ruger #1 so no I think it will get smokeless. It's also a fairly rare #1. A pic of it over in the .22 K Hornet thread we derailed

I have some CP 260gr LFN's and also Hawk 255 flat points. Thinking H4198 since I have a few pounds.

10-4, I saw it beside your Bee but didn't know what it was, 4198 will do the deal too, I get 1844 fps in a modern 24" barreled M-94, you could get a lot more in that #1 if you wanted it.

Just cast 50 each 705 gr 50 cal and 530 gr 45 cal paper patch bullets, all that made the cut weighed within a grain and a half after weighing and sorting.

Casting is great fun, will meet my bane and roll the patches on them all later this week. ;]

You need to video your paper patching, complete with audio, for us. We need a refresher in creative cursing.

Lord have Mercy would it be!

That kinda nimbleness is woman's work.

Back in the day, the Sharps factory hired women to paper patch bullets by hand. Hugo Borchardt finally invented a machine to do it, but bullets were patched by women by hand at Sharps for a number of years.

patching is great therapy!! In the old daze in the asylum, they just had us weave baskets!!

Absolutely agree with that hiring pool Sharpsguy, our fingers/hands were NOT built for such delicate work.

LOL EvilTwin, time is drawing near for critters to get a one way pass to the meat boxes and freezers via Holy Black and Cast Lead bullets.

I'm by-damn ready too.

50-90 at 705 grs and 45-110 at 530 grs damn near knocked the 300 yard plate off the chains, COME ON NOVEMBER!!!!!

50-90??? I hear they don't penetrate! Use the 577 :-)

LOL, maybe I could get a 700 Nitro and try to kill em with class?

You guys are nucking futs!

I know where there's a 50-140 for sale if you really want to man-up :-)

I'm thinking a .50-90 would be interesting...a .50-140 would likely be too much of a good thing

Yes, yes we are Crow, what took ya so long to notice?

My 50-90 is a plenty from the bench with Holy Black and 700+ grains, but, it no where in hell kicks like my 577 Nitro or 505 Gibbs, and damn sure isn't even the same galaxy as an 8 Bore with a full 400 grs of black under an 850 gr round ball, that is next to pure religion at 1400 fps.
