Hope you have better luck with your gun than I did! Wish I had never gone there....but live an learn.

It won't quit raining for me to find out. With that being said most of the shots on the ranch that I would use this for is coyotes and hogs at short range so hopefully it will be good enough for the kids to use without me sweating about them using a more expensive gun, maybe get a barrel for it someway along the way, who knows. lol thanks for the input though, did you get yours sold.

I wonder if you fire lapped it if it would perform better.

Yeah, I sold it at my American Legion Post sale, gave the Legion part of it. Lost $$$ I probably should have tried to get it to shoot, but didn't....

Good cause, maybe someone will become addicted like us. One mans lost is someone elses dream sometimes. Hope you have an awesome day.

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.
