Got to go shoot it today after doing some stock work.
Took the hated cheek piece off and lowered the comb so my cheek won't be battered from now on. Have done the same on my 54 Renegade. After smoothing the wood down to 220 grit i began watering it till all the whiskers were lifted and smoothed. About 5 or 6 coats of boiled linseed oil and finished up with ballistol she was ready for a range trip.
I had some .454 boolits i wanted to try in the 48 inch twist 45 cal 28 inch barrel. The one that turned out on top was my Lee minie hollow base. Lubed with SPG and sized to .454 i loaded them on 50 grains of old E 2Fg powder for a shake down.
At 35 yards rested on the pickup bed i was able to keep all the pure lead minies in a tight 3/4 inch group ... all 1 solid hole for a shot count of 7 boolits.
Very easy shooting load and next time i will shoot some larger loads of powder to see how they go.
Stock fits VERY well and i am very pleased with both the stock work as well as the discovery of such a fun powder/boolit/stock fitment settup.
