I finally broke down and bought myself a Christmas present. I've been going to do it for 6 months or more but now it's on it's way.

Earlier this year I bought a Lyman GPR 54 with the intent of adding a 50 GPH barrel to it for a nice combo.I didn't have the money to order the extra barrel until recently and had to wait till after the Christmas bill was totaled to order it. Well, I had enough after the kids stuff was bought and I just went ahead and ordered it from Midsouth the end of last week. I also ordered a #17 front sight for it to complement the 57 peep I already have on the gun. I hope to develop some nice conical loads for this barrel and use the 54 for round ball.

If everything goes as planned I should have the new stuff by this weekend. Christmas all over again.
