    Pedersoli Tryon

    Good day everyone. I have a 50 caliber Tryon standard target (with peep sight) coming on the way to me. I know I'll have to experiment with loads but was just curious if anyone has one of these and what you find works best for you.
    Cheers!

    Yep. I just picked it up at the post office this afternoon. She's a 50 caliber made in 1981. In darn nice condition too.

    my first BP rifle was one of those, i bought it new.
    I loved the case hardened furniture, and the back action lock.

    the best load i ever found was with a .490 round ball, with pillow ticking that had been washed, and 50 gr of FFF. I used it in competition for years, won many, placed in more.

    I never had a chance to shoot a deer with it.

    I used the same loading for all ranges out to 100 yards, it was dead on at 25, and dead on again at 100.

    I was distracted one day while loading at a match, and short started the ball, but never rammed it home.
    when i fired, it bulged the barrel.

    I had my gunsmith shorten it to below the bulge, but it never shot the same again.

    reluctantly i sold it to a friend who still owns it.
    I make 2 predictions:
    On the date when U.S. troops are issued an Energy Pulse Weapon.
    1. The U.S. soldier will have on his person a version of the Colt 1911.
    2. He will be aiming the new weapon at someone carrying an AK.

    Things were such that I never got out with mine yet. Will likely be awhile before I do.
