Rice .50 Cal 1-24 Twist 350 Yard Gong

[Idaholewis]

Yesterday was a SOLID Down pour of Rain, This morning was decent, So i loaded up to go Shoot the New RICE 1-24 Twist .50 Cal, This time with my 610 Grain Grease Groove Bullet.

350 Yard Gong, 610 Grain Grease Groove, Cast of 1-20 Alloy, Lubed with My “Tweaked” Bullshop NASA. Powder charge was 100 Grains of Swiss 2F, Going off of my Chrono data from the other Day with my 615 Paper Patch Bullet, i would bet this Bullet was in the 1,375 Fps Range, or there very close abouts. This is a SERIOUS .50 Caliber Muzzleloader Guy’s

My Gong is setup down at the End of this Old Gated off Rd

I browsed your channel last night after dinner and watched the videos on your new Rice barrel.
Brand new barrel, you load up and shoot basically a one hole group with the very first combo you try. Then turn around and decide to try a different bullet, run the calculations, and smack the gong with it at 350 yards with all three shots. You were off by what, 1 MOA on the wind (corrected after 1st shot) and another 1.5 MOA on drop? Just terrible Lew...you need to get better at this stuff.

Just out of curiosity.....what made you go with 100 grains of powder over you usual 80 grains??

I wanted to get these 610 & 615 Grain Bullets to 1,300 Fps, My old trusty 80 Grain load wouldn’t have been enough to get me there

Think that gong is going to surrender and wave a white flag ,you might also be accused of gong abuse !/Ed

 

[Insulator18]

Did you have to cut for front sight & barrel lug yourself?? You got me thinking about a new barrel. Lol

 

[deermanok]

Excellent shooting as always.
My long range 25 yards.

I can’t imagine shooting my 54 tc renagade flint lock that well ! Amazing! But I’m trying!! Love shooting the lol smoke. Pole

 

[idahoron]

Great shooting!!
Just for kicks. The stability calculator has the number in the green box. How high is that number with those big bullets?

Ron, Take those Calculators with a Grain of Salt. That JBM Twist Calculator that i showed you in your Rifle Thread is the one i use exclusively.

Don’t get me Wrong, i ABSOLUTELY believe in them, But not til you get Waaaaaaaay out there. When designing a long range Bullet to a Particular Twist i make sure and line it up with a Twist Calculator.

With the above said, I have shot MANY MANY different bullets, in Various Calibers & Twist Rates that DON’T line up with the Twist Calculators, Yet they Shot STELLAR. Take the Stock 1:48 Twist .50 Cal TC Renegade for Example (Just 1 of MANY) I shoot a .492 Diameter PP Bullet that measures 1.060 Long in a Stock 1:48 Twist .50 Cal TC Rengade, That Bullet will Shoot through the Same Hole, LAZER Accurate! And I know for a Fact, from Hands on experience that it stays that way to at least 300 Yards, Now lets look at that Bullet in the Twist Calculator for 1:48 Twist

The Twist Calculator say’s NO (We are looking for as close to 1.5 in The Stability Box, Which would be GREEN, and is The Military Standard for Stability)

And here is a 4 Shot Group with that 1.060 Long SOFT LEAD PP Bullet from my Stock 1:48 Twist Renegade, Its obvious by looking here that my Rifle STRONGLY disagrees with the Twist Calculator And it does so To at least 300 Yards

And here is the Lyman Plains, again the Twist Calculator say’s NO

And here is a 5 Shot Group with the Lyman Plains Bullet from my Stock 1:48 Twist Renegade, Its obvious by looking here that my Rifle disagrees with the Twist Calculator as well

And Stil Disagrees at 260 Yards

And last, here is the S&W 500 Bullet Cast of SOFT LEAD in my Stock 1:48 Twist .50 Cal TC Renegade. Again, according to the Twist Calculators this Bullet is a NO, But it Shoots VERY WELL! I get a Kick out of it when i see Folks say “Nope, won’t work, to long for 1:48” They are FULL of And need to Actually test these things like I HAVE Done, before Running their mouth.

I wanted you to better understand the Twist Calculators above with REAL LIFE DATA I acquired

Now to better answer your Question Both my Designed PP and GG Bullets are High 1s, low 2s in the Twist Calculator Box, In order to hit the 1.5 Dead on i would of needed a Bullet in the 1.4-1.5“ inch long Range, and about 700-750 Grains for this 1-24 Twist. Simply put, I was NOT interested in the that Be like lobbing Turds, SLOW. I wanted at least 1,300 Fps (ended up with 1,350) that is plenty enough to get these Big 610-615 Grain Bullets WAAAAAAAAY Down the Alley. I knew what i needed, and that’s what i have
