Hello all,
Finally joined the club, got a Bison off Doc from his criterion barrels, this is a 24" 1 in 24 twist bison, its got a black dura coat finish and a rubbery grippy finish on the stock, which is made from maple and redesigned by doc for shooting with a scope. I think ill toss a scope on it to see what it can do, but probably end up hunting with the open sights. I've got a few bullets im going to try, one is a 450 grain .458 cast lead bullet my old man makes, and im going to try a barnes 458 socom bullet, 325 458 hornady, and doc mentioned the harvester scorpion's shoot well. he actually said you can shoot blackhorn out of it, but I know there is a post saying not to risk it, so im going to start out with 70 grains T7 3f.
one problem ive found so far is the breech plug opening is small in diamter none of my plug wrenches fit, had to rig up one of those screwdrivers you can pull out of the handle and change the bit, its a 3/8 drive.. guess ill have to find a long and skinny t handle 3/8 drive extension.. what do you guys use?
