Well I ordered it from Track of the Wolf. They were ten dollars cheaper. Also ordered 1000 cleaning patches from them. They were really cheap compared to what I pay for in town. Also order some sabots. Got 100 purple and 50 red. It will probably be awhile before I buy 500 grain bullets so I got red so I could shoot my 300 xtps that i have for my inline. I'm not worried about the recoil. My father has a .458 lott that I LOVE to shoot. I don't know why I like soo much punishment from a gun. Its interesting that the purple didn't hold up. Maybe you had a bad bunch. Have to wait and see. So who wants a .50 Renegade barrel????
