I finally got a chance to take my new .50 cal pistol to the outdoor range.
I could only shoot in a pistol bay to 45 yards due to a State Trap Shoot setting up for a big match and using the bays for vendors and camping.
Everything went great. I used for the first time the Shooters World Multi Purpose Black Powder and I set it off with Federal Muzzleloader primers and Winchester SE7VEN designed for 777 and Pyrodex Pellets. Everything fired every time.
I used the TC Cheap Shots to get it on paper and then switched to the Barnes with the green crush rib sabots.
Both were very accurate.
I probably could have tightened the groups with a scope but I had the Red Dot in my safe so I went with it. From a makeshift rest I could put all my shots in 2.5". The dot was almost as big as my zero spot so it was hard to be super accurate but well within minute of deer or hog.
I sighted it about 1 1/2" high and I doubt I can shoot it much over 60 yards in the woods. I will shoot it farther at my hunting land before the season just to be safe.
Gun shot good, big boom, big smoke, recoil not bad at all.
