C. Sharps Big Fifty?

[Eric Johanen]

Today I got Lucrezia out to 200 yards. Boy's, I can not believe just how flat she shoots that Accurate 51-550S! SR posted and settled onto the bench, flipped up the ladder, settled the blade into the rear notch and it printed slightly left at 11:30 up in the 6 ring. Wow!!. That won't work so I put the ladder down and brought up the full blade holding center of the black. Shot 6 inches low centered up. By bringing up the front sight to the sight base level in the bottom of the rear sight notch, It prints in the lower half of the black using a half the black hold. Now to me, that is really something! Like a old express rifle loading. Flat, flat shooting! Getting that sight picture the same shot to shot will take a bit of practice but when it's right, she puts them in the center lower half. Core group is 3.5 vertical by 3 horizontal! Not to bad for open rear and blade front. I shot with 110 grains of GOEX 1 fg and used 1 .060 vegi wad testing this load. With the ladder up using the V notch in the bottom of the U I think she will be on at 325 + yards. Probably won't change it until I can out shoot it! She is one of the easiest rifles to work a load up for I have ever had. Lucrezia is money well spent!
