    lyman .50 cal

    I would be very interested in your recipe to get these to shoot accurately. I can get decent groups at 50 yards (1.5" groups), but they seem to go all over the place at longer ranges (8+ inch groups at 100 yards). I have tried both the slow and fast twist Great Plains barrels with similar...

    Cabelas Hawkins

    My son assembled one from a Cabela's kit and I was impressed with the overall quality of the gun. I assembled a Lyman GPR at about the same time and his shot much better than my Lyman for quite a while before I sorted mine out. His seems to shoot both round ball and conicals pretty well...

    How NOT to fix a gun...

    Something to check is how the barrel is held in the stock. I could not get my Lyman GPR to hold consistent groups (albeit better than you describe), but what I found was that there was some tension in the barrel when it was held into the stock. The way the rear of the barrel was bedded, I was...

    OPTIMUM ROT FOR .54 CONICALS?

    I have had the same grouping issue with the Lee 300 gr REAL design. They group well at 50 yards (< 1.5") and are all over the place at 100 (> 8"). I have seen the same thing in both slow and fast twist barrels. (Lyman GPR and GPH barrels). Any ideas would be appreciated, at this point I have...

    kodiak rifle

    I had one for a while and it was not well regulated. Point of impact for the two barrels was diffent enough that I ended up moving on to other guns. Using the sights for each barrel would probably work OK for hunting. They are pretty front end heavy as well for the smaller calibers. If at all...

    How Much Powder for Elk with GPR & Conical?

    I have not had much luck with the LEE 300 gr REAL bullet. The accuracy at 50 yards is good (cloverleaf), but the group opens up (8"+) at 100 yards. I have tried with and without a felt wad and various charges of both Goex 2F and 777. This is out of a GPH that groups very well at 100 yards...
