Ain’t nothin beats a 10 gauge for putting holes in paper.This thread reminded me I want a big bore! I want to punch big holes in little targets with it.

Or if you need a rifle, try a .60 caliber.This thread reminded me I want a big bore! I want to punch big holes in little targets with it.

And that's the truth man.A good, accurate load worked in a .54 WoodsRunner would make a fine target rifle, IMHO.
That right there is some good shootin'.I tried others but have success on targets as well as game with a 54 in various rifles. My Woods runner is a 54 and is as natural to shoot as pointing your finger. I’ve used as small as 40 calibre but never as good shooting as 54. Over all the expense of shooting a muzzleloader hasn’t been a fraction of cartridges.

What are you using for a projectile?![]()

Respectfully, sir. That is horse hockey. The reason for the 50% scoring rule is to make the game equitable for all round ball calibers. Do check with experienced scorers at big matches, like Friendship.bigger the ball the better chance you have of cutting the line on your target
I do think that there are probably enclaves of shooters who adhere to the cut line method just due to their shooting background. Their collective experience might be so oriented.Respectfully, sir.

Huh?I do think that there are probably enclaves of shooters who adhere to the cut line method just due to their shooting background. Their collective experience might be so oriented.
To elaborate; there are small groups of shooters all over the country who get together for formal or informal matches. If they are more accustomed to scoring used in suppository matches they might simply apply the cut the line method to their get togethers. More than once I've seen knowledgeable shooters show up for their first time at a competition without having any idea of the center of ball system.Huh?![]()
