Purely a novelty to me, but still a nice looking combo.

I fitted burl rosewood grips on mine. That wood is pretty oily and can be hard to get the finish to take. I soaked them in acetone, even turned the acetone purplish. After that, the tung oil/urethane finish worked out well. I had installed the Ruger medallions before the acetone treatment. The acetone took out the black background on the medallions, turning them full silver. But, with a SS gun, looks pretty good like that. DF

This is David’s load data: .490 roundball seated over a .50 cal. Wonderwad 50 grains by volume of Hodgdon’s Triple 7 FFFg 1250 fps
250 gr. cast bullet 45-48 grains by volume of Hodgdon’s Triple 7 FFFg 1150 fps OP, Get your hands on some Allianz Black MZ & you will throw the Hodgdon corrosive [bleep] away.
