RE: C. Sharps Big Fifty?
Shot the 50 90 with new Starline brass, CCI LR primer, 110 grains of GOEX 1 fg and a .030 vegi card and milk carton poly wad. Seated the Accurate Molds 51-550S seated to the first band. Wiped between shots and used the 25 yard Timed and Rapid target at 100 yards. 6 O'clock hold and full blade in the notch and it printed 5 inches high, top of the black a little left. Moved rear to the right and held half a blade and the group was 1 & 3/8th's vertical X 1 inch horizontal centered between the 9 and 10 ring at 9 O'clock. Needs just a bit more right to center up. Surprised at just how well these shot! No evidence of tipping or anything weird going on so it looks like that 555 grain bullet will stabilize at least to 100 yards. I'll have to try it out at 200. Now I can get to work as I have 40 fire formed cases to work with. I think this bullet will work with the 1 X 26 twist and that is a good thing! Next time out I'll center up the sights and give it a try at 200 yards. If I can get it working I just might give it a run at the next steel match. That would be good fun!!!
