If your in the market for a inline .54 caliber look at this thread: https://www.modernmuzzleloader.com/threads/palmetto-inline.33527/ I just got mine today, they are a very well built gun for the $$ an still on gunbroker. Its a plunger rifle 1:28 twist should be a good shooter. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/802491898
Did you get your RidgeRunner yet? Thoughts??Thanks. I feel better now as I have one coming also
The Bold trigger does fit an works in the RidgeRunner just like it was made for it. Mine is with my gunsmith getting bedded, he does an excellent job! Hope to have it back by mid April.Yes I did. I didn’t do anything with it yet
Getting ready for a bear hunt in a couple weeks so I been practicing for that and trying to decide what to use
Narrowed it down to 2 different guns I think
A sidelock and an in-line. Both fast twist though.
Will do. I now have Bullshop .540 conicals in 380gr. to try out an .54 Harvester sabots for .451/.452 bullets for the 300gr XTP's. One of those should do well. I have to wait till after May 1st to shoot, but hope to asap after that!Sounds great. I might actually have to try mine out sometime And see how she shoots.
Let me know your results when you get yours back
Well....long story short I had the RidgeRunner bedded and finally got to the range today. What a big disappointment!! I knew it wasn't even close to a White, but was hoping for better results. I couldn't get it to group either the 300 XTP/.54/45 sabot or the Bullshop 380gr. 54 cal. conical. There is a tight spot about half way down the bore I never noticed when cleaning it, but sure did when trying to load today, once passed that spot it loaded okay, but was spraying both loads, never came close to a group. I used 80gr. T72Fg with a #11 nipple, which took usually twice to get to the cap to fire. (The hammer does have a "tit" protrusion for a 209 primer) I didn't try the 209 primer adapter. It was very hard to load even after swabbing (I hate swabbing). This gun isn't gonna hunt with me, its gonna go to a local auction on June 8th, just hope to recover some of my $$ back.Thanks. I feel better now as I have one coming also
I want to find a nice 77/50 . Did they make them in a .45 ?
No
You could take out the BP an push a bullet down to see if your bore has a tight spot an still be NIB. Never dawned on me, the bore looks perfect, cleaning patch didn't get stuck or show tight area.That’s to bad . Guess I might as well not mess with mine. I will just leave it NIB. I was hoping you would have something good to report. At least I ain’t out much .
