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...

Thank you

Hey, me too. I live just south of their.

Yep, you sure can. I did this one, a no3 with no1 wood, then made it into a stalking rifle, 45-70

That's awesome, at what range does yours cross? Mine didn't come with a rib sight, it has a peep sight only. Pretty neat gun.

Nice, I took my 54 cal Kodiak out of the safe today, you got me wanting to shoot it again and maybe get it regulated.

@Gert Odendaal , how did your hunting trip go?

50 cal Wesson

Sorry for the confusion, the bullet pictured is one of my own making, 1800gr no paper patch on this one. That is a quarter beside it. My 50 cal Wesson has a false muzzle, that I made to use a strip patch. I'll see if I can post a video of 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...

This is my 8 bore, with the 1800gr maxi ball. I also have a 900gr mini ball and a 750gr round ball. The barrel is a 20mm cobra helicopter barrel and the lock is a copy of a screwless Nock lock. I built this gun in 98. I haven't killed anything with it yet. Did all my big game killing, mostly...

Interesting notes and ideas of rou d ball vs maxi ball in this thread. I have tried both for hunting and prefer the maxi ball, especially in fifty cal, lately I tried it in 54, without success on elk, so am going with a maxi with that, going to stick with round for the 8 bore though. I don't...
