My old, back in the day, Douglas-barreled .54 plains rifle would shoot .535’s and a .017" patch pretty much all day. Not hard to start either. Busted an 8- point with it at close to 175 yds with 3 witnesses. That was back in ‘78 when I could still see. Thing weighed almost 11 pounds. But I was young

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
