Took the .54 gpr to the range again today and performed my final filing of the front sight to bring it to dead on at 75 yards. The rifle still seems to like the 80 grains of goex 2f and the pillow ticking with a .530 rb, The final three shots touched at 75 yards. Now i just need to shoot it at...

im in the same boat you are in. I just got my gpr .54 cal and plan on putting alot of antelope and deer meat in the freezer with it this fall, the ole 7mm is going to be awful lonely this year.

charlie, if the 80 grn load of 2f does not pan out at longer range i will try some 3f but if it does, i believe in the old saying " if it aint broke dont fix it". :hatsoff:

went to the range again yesterday and shot 30 more rounds out of it from 65 to 80 grns of 2f and the pillow ticking again. The rifle likes 80 grns the best so far so i think i will just stick with that for target and deer hunting. the load is keeping a very tight group at 50 yards. After this 2...

i have been on one elk hunt in the black hills of south dakota and i found a small creek that ran for about 4 miles with quake and aspen thickets on both sides going up the draw. couldnt see my hand in front of my face most of the time but ended up killing a nice bull at 50 yrds with a cf 7mm...

brownbear, i shot 25 rounds and ran patches down the barrel after every shot but never touched the nipple or flash channel while shooting. i was making sure i placed the cap firmly with the brass capper but i hope everybody does that. :idunno:

yea so far i am very impressed with the rifle. i was surprised i had no problem with the lyman nipple or cci caps, it went bang every time.

took my new gpr 54 to the range today on my first black powder adventure lol. The rifle shot way more accurate than i expected. I was shooting at 50 yards using goex 2f and .015 patches and .018 pillow ticking. I only tried one charge of 60 grns due to the fact i was just trying to "break in"...

never mind i figured the lock out. so far i have all the preservative junk cleaned out of the barrel and lock and i believe it is ready to fire. now i am just waiting on the accesories from midsouth and i will be ready to shoot. thanks everybody

i loosened up the tang and the wedges slid right in so i guess that problem is fixed lol. i got some brake cleaner to clean the gunk out of the barrel and the lock but i do not know how to take the lock out? typical newby huh lol.

well the rifle arrived during lunch hour today, everything is great but the wedges will not slide in.

I was worried about the cheek piece as well with all the "hawken" rifles. So i was stuck with either a right hand renegade or a left hand gpr. i just didnt like the shorter barrel on the renegade and i figured if i ever hunt ELEPHANT i will just get the drop in 1:32 twist conical barrel for the...

i found sheet lead to buy but it is like 6.76 a lb and a hundred .530 balls weighs 3.2 lbs which come to $21.63. so yea i think i will just buy them for about 18 dollars a box.

i have been thinking about casting but all i can find for lead around here is wheel weights. i did melt a bunch of wheel weights into ingots and will probably try them later in the game.

i sure hope the gun outshoots me after a good scrubbing with steel wool and a 100 or so round balls

i have a capper and powder measure with swivel top, and a ketchup bottle with cone cap from a 80-90 gear oil bottle for a powder flask lol.

well after argueing with myself for several weeks over a hawken 48 twist or 60 twist lyman i finally chose the lyman gpr in .54 left hand and ordered it today. now the real waiting begins!!!lol. So after posting a few questions here and getting some amazing help from guys like zonie,capper...

thanks clay pipe, i will be getting the gpr next week and just trying to have an idea what to do if this problem occurs with the nipple. i guess if i do screw the nipple up i can order a ampco.i did get some goex 2f that will hopefully help with the ignition but the problem is i dont think i...

exactly what brand of nipple do you use for the cci's brownbear?

well thats that. i will file it down little by little to fit cci caps. thanks dawg.
