I recently bought a 50 cal Scout to deer hunt with.Im looking for some owners of this pistol who have experience with good load and bullet combinations that give the best accuracy. Im going to use Goex black powder to start simply because I here it gives the best ignition in the pistol.Thanks so much for any help.
First off if you decide you don't want that pistol let me know. I have the rifle and I'm looking for a pistol to go with it.
About loads im not shure but I Tryied a few different powders. I tryied goex and it was ok, did not like pyrodex, but I LOVED triple seven. I used the loose FFFG as being finer I hoped it would ignite easy. I could load and shoot 5 70gr shots with a 435gr great planes bullet with out any swabbing between shots. Give it a try, it cleaned up amazingly easy. Which is nice because the scouts are not the easyest guns to clean.
It's not the size of your brass that matters, It's how you tumble it.
