We're talking charges of powder, here, and not aggressive deer. There's no real question just a request for opinions, especially experienced opinions. However any opinions will be appreciated.
Sixty grains of 3F has been an accurate deer getter in my .45s so no problem there. What say you guys around camp concerning 60 grns 3F in a .50. My .50 flint is light weight and 60grns gives a satisfying thump to the shoulder. I haven't chronographed it yet but I'm guessing between 1400 and 1500 fps. The barrel is .50 x 38" swamped round bottom. Any "been there; done thats" around?
