Fired New Pistol

[vthompson]

My son and I shot my new 50cal Lyman Plains pistol for a while yesterday and I was really impressed with it.
We worked on figuring out a load that it liked and we finally got it. It likes a .490 round ball with 35grains of 3F powder and a .018 ticking patch. After we got that figured out we were consistantly shooting 2 inches to the left at 25 yards. That isn't bad shooting from a gun right out of the box. The next time we shoot we are going to zero it in for good.
