I had a bit of mixed results. I tried about 10 differnt bullets in it. I was about ready to sell it at first. All my light loads 8-900 fps shot like ****. I bumped the load up to 18 grains of 2400 and it did just the oposite and shot everything well and some exceptionaly well. I havent got it out past 25 yards yet though. I did have a half a dozen sub one inch groups though. I think it may have a slower twist barrel on it. I havent tried any heavys yet though.

Now Lloyd ..... you know that isn't going to be able to keep up with that laser-beam-cannon-rifle that you use across fields . [smilie=l:

It does look very nice though so you do get points for cool :bigsmyl2:

the lazor beam guns are mostly for crop damage shooting Jack where effect outweights cool. Still need my sixguns for everything else.

I am particularly inamoured with the picture on their website of the gun with the rams horn grips.

They definately know their way around sixguns.
