C. Sharps Big Fifty?

[Fogman01]

"I like the big bore of the .50 and I also found it to be the easiest round to find a good load for and once you settle on the load and bullet it is the most consistently shooting rifle."

I have found this to be true also. I love my Big 50-90. When I was sighting it in for my buffalo hunt, it was in the fall when all the deer and elk hunters were sighting in their smokeless rifles for the big game season. I found it satisfying to shoot better 100 yd groups with my barrel sights and black powder than most of them with their 9 power scopes. I'll have to find some bowling pins though!
