Great shooting rifles. 100 yards.

I've got older GPR in .54 and a new old stock Cabela Investarms in .54. Older GPR shoots much tighter groups as I've only put down about 50 round balls through the Investarms.

My .54 Investarms from Cabelas is a caplock w/chrome barrel. It's next in line to get "Dutched" (the system) THE EASIEST clean up of any black powder firearm ever.

I got this barrel from TOW a few years ago. GM barrel with a lyman plug, just took out the 54 and in with 40. Very happy with them. Easy to change to either one. Mark

Hey Mark,
That Lyman must be a good exercise to carry that Lyman with a .40 cal. barrel.
But with the set triggers it must be evil on the range.

With the 32" factory length 15/16" barrel the .40 bore is tipping right at the edge of my comfort zone.
When I see half stock hunting rifles in museums with one inch barrels and .38 bore it gives me pause and thoughts like gee golly we're wimps compared to those guys.

A 28" long GM .40 on a Renegade handles a little better.

Suppose an octagonal to tapered round GPR .40 and tall front sight would handle a little better. Thought about it but never quite convinced myself that it'd look right.

When you got a small bore on a GPR that's a lotta iron.

It's a lot easier to carry around with the .54 in it. It does shoot very good for targets. Mark
