Decided to take My Lyman Great Plains “Hunter” .54 Cal out this morning and test 1 of my BIG Grease Groove bullets in it, The Bullet i used is Accurate Molds #54-510M, I had the Mold cut oversize So my bullets weigh a bit more, They are right at 525 Grains. My powder charge was 85 Weight Grains of Swiss 2F powder, This Rifle shoots REALLY well :yeah: It took me some time to like this Rifle, After some Modifications i can say I really like the Gun. But I stil MUCH prefer my TC’s with Green Mountain LRH barrels, Hard to argue with the Performance of the Lyman GPH, This thing has Shot everything i have thrown at it from Good, to Excellent. I can’t remember 1 single bad outing with this Rifle? Anyone on the Fence about buying a Fast Twist Bullet Sidelock, This is a Good Gun :yeah: there’s Not Many Current production Fast twist Bullet Sidelocks out there. These Lyman GP “Hunters” Both the .50 and .54 have a 1:32 Twist, And as a Bonus you could buy a Roundball twist barrel for it :yeah:
The Rifle, This thing is Looooong :lol:
The Bullet, VERY similar to the Bullshop .504 in design
My first 3 shots
And my last 3 making 6 shots total, I pulled one low and ruined my Group! It’s pretty obvious where this rifle shoots as long as i do my part :yeah:
