Do you have an idea what kind of FPS you can expect? Way to make muzzle loading season way more interesting!

Did Ruger put that Super Blackhawk trigger guard on it, or is that an aftermarket modification?

Clements put it on although he did not make the grips on it. The previous owner added the grips but they were cut short and don’t fit well

Do you have a link handy to a drawing of the bullet mold from accurate molds to cast 250 grain bullets that David suggested? Does it have a wide flat nose?

Thanks! Are you planning to cast with a really soft alloy? Looks like it would be a bit above 250 if you do. Have you tried powder coating cast bullets? I think I paid 25.00 for a toaster oven that works fine. Here are 37 pages of photos.... Lots of options to make them "custom" https://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?251956-Powder-coated-bullets-pics-only

Always wanted one of his conversions. Good snag.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

NICE! congrats pacecars, i'd check twist and shoot the heaviest 50 cal slug i could, should still be plenty of room for powder in those chambers, good luck and have fun with that one man.

Isn’t there an old saying “Life begins at 50”?

Isn’t there an old saying “Life begins at 50”? Or nearly instantaneous death.... Range report soon?
