Congratulations, Sir! That said, you're not helping with my looming addiction to BPCR!  ET's and others' posts about these rifles have driven me to start digging into the subject while I maneuver my finances to join the rank of BPCR addicts. Ed

I know I should have gotten 100 rounds last weekend instead of 60. Nope . . . shoulda got 200 . . . Congrats on your step up to the "big leagues", you'll like your Shiloh.
Someday I hope to be the person my dogs think I am . . .

34" barrel, but I have no idea of the twist. The bullet is a 450 grain lead, but if the guy who custom loads them told me, I have forgotten what kind of mold it came from. The bullet is a round nose, flat top.
He did tell me the 625 grainers backed by black powder, that he was selling, were thrown from a custom-made mold.

The original 50/90 2 1/2 used a 473 grain paper patched bullet and that WAS the heavy one. Shooting smokeless-after ya git done wid this bunch,any further pollution wid said powder will require that you beat your head against the wall until forgiven!!  Call Shiloh and ask what the rifling pitch is for their Big Fifty. Great folks. They answer questions about their product very readily. NOW GO GIT A SCHITLOAD of BLACK POWDER!!!!!!! You are SOOOOOO screwed!!!

For the #3 it will most likely be a 1/22 twist unless a slow twist was ordered.

I've already got a 500 grain mold. It's not a paper patch mold though.

Wow. I paid $40 a box for loaded ammo. I thought it was a decent buy, but didn't realize how cheap it really was.

No more than what you'll shoot that rifle, the preloaded stuff is probably the better deal.
