The guy with the 500S&W was told to GTFO

I have definitely found myself gravitating towards lesser recoil.

Never shot a .50 cal. pistol.  But I've been fiddling the last few days with 150g loads getting my .50 cal muzzleloader smoke stick getting ready for deer season.  Been told by the fam and neighbors it sounds like I'm shooting a f-ing cannon. I can't really tell with my hearing protection.  But maybe I'll back it back down to 100g. 😇

I had a chance to shoot a. 50 muzzleloader it was as much fun loading as it was shooting 😁

150 gr is a magnum load.  If your rifle isn't rated for it I wouldn't be shooting 150.  100 gr is much more comfortable to shoot and unless you are really trying for extended range 150 isn't worth it.   At 100 yards and in the deer will never know the difference.

[MtnMike]

Rifle is rated at for 150g loads - but it doesn't shoot good groups with that load with the 290g bullets I use. 4-5" spread at 75 yds.  Backed it down to 100g and I am getting more like 1-1.5" groups which is better.  But still too many random flyers.  Trying a different primer next time. Tomorrow is the beginning of bow season in SC.  So, that's where my focus is today.  Heading down to a buddy's farm to trade him some work and steaks for early access to the back 75 acres 😀

This one won't be eating any more of our fish. ruler is 5" long. Turtle soup tomorrow. 

[Armed Eye Doc]

That's a monster.

[shooterrex]

That monster met a bigger monster called Grendel.

[Cunuckgaucho]

Well Danial Boone made the coonskin cap famous, maybe Rex can now make the turtleshell hat a fashion statement?

[shooterrex]

Nope

[Sisco]

Turtle soup is great stuff!

The new stand is up. This was on sale in April for $129.00. Finally put it together. The view from the stand.

[Armed Eye Doc]

Nice spot you've got Rex.
