54 Caliber Loads ??

[GBG]

I've searched but haven't found much about White 54 caliber rifle loads, especially for larger than deer size game. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe go to the source. Last I read, Doc White is still around.
Maybe someone can post his email address, or PM you his phone number.

When I had my 54 cal bison, I shot a 510 grn conical from a custom mold from Accurate Molds. 80 grn of Swiss FFG. I also used a wool wad over powder. Very accurate.

You can email him at [email protected], or [email protected]. I would try the stratanet email address first or call him direct at 435-722-2520.

I shoot the No Excuses .54 cal., 525 grain conical out of my White Bison. I use a wool wad and Swiss 2F powder. You should be able to find a charge between 70-to 90 grains that will give you good accuracy.

Thanks for the replies.

I was surprised how economical (72 cents each, for 100 with shipping) the No Excuses 54 525 grain bullets are.

Knight makes sabots you can use to shoot a 50 caliber bullet in a 54.

I knew that Sabot word would get guys chirping

I have to admit that I tried the 54 cal sabot with 50 cal bullet one time. Shot ok I guess but I really liked the small groups that the conical produced so I shot up the pack of sabots and never went back. I mean if I wanted to shoot saboted bullets I would have bought a Knight...Am I Right?

Please forgive me for using the word "sabot".

I know some of you guys make your own black powder from your own outhouse.
I was not thinking clearly when I made that suggestion. What was I thinking?


Just kidding...

Say-Bow... I think it's French for ''hot dog bun'' or something like that.

However much powder you need to make it shoot good


That is a seriously good bullet if you can find them. Pretty popular bullet from 50A&E to 50 Beowulf speeds. AA was using them in the Beowulf ammo for years at 1800+ fps but they perform fine at much slower speeds too. It was made for 50A&E which is like 1300-1500fps.

Just nasty
