Ahh, missed it, and ya know what they say about guys with big feet, we have a good understanding

I used the T/C bullet cast with wheel weights in my 50 cal, to take several caribou, black bear and a dall sheep. 50cal round ball with on deer was terrible, 54 round ball on deer and elk was also terrible, Lyman plains and Buffalo bullets in both 50 and 54 work very well also. The Lee REAL...

Well, holes don't line up enough, so I will have to make a base, I'll just make it rear windage

I will, and I already have several tang sights, it depends on the sight, some you would pare with a front windage sight.

Interesting, I'm thinking of putting a mid range tang sight on, like on a sharps. It already has a factory installed peep sight, but is like ideal, except the peep post just screws up and down, no number marks. I have a non windage midrange sight with the proper hole spacing, don't know if it...

It's a bullet from a mold I made, hard to find molds for a 8 bore. I made a 3 bullet, 750gr ball, or 900gr ballet and 1800gr maxi my normal load is 250grs of 2f, in this one. For anything past 1000yds, I'll make express sights, or a mid range set up. The Wesson 50 cal is a fast twist with a...
