I wanted to extend my hunting season here in Maine so I picked up a used T/C Black Diamond XR. I had some doubts at first but the price was right so...

After firing it I was impressed with how tight the groups were and how easy it was to shoot. I'm using # 11 caps with Pyrodex RS and T/C smackdown SSt bullets. My groups at 50 yards were under 2 inches and were shot offhand using 70 grs. of powder. I'm sure if I had a rest and a scope I could tighten that up.

I didn't even mind cleaning, despite the fact that you basically tear the gun down to do so. A little hoppes, some remington 40X bore cleaner and some hot soapy water and I had a dry clean patch.

On that I'm hooked I wonder if I should try PRB or should I cast some .430 44 cal. 245 swc and use sabots. I also shoot a Ruger Redhawk and could use the same bullet.

Basically I just want to shoot and would like to find a reasonable bullet cost wise to use. Any opinions?
