Lyman Deerstalker Question
I went to the range today and decided to try my 350gr HP Gould bullets that I normally shoot with my 45cal White ML in my 50cal Lyman Deerstalker with a Black smooth Harvester Sabot and 80gr of 3F Goex Black Powder. I was pleasantly surprised at 50 yds considering my old eyes and Progressive lenses. The group was about 1.5-2". I was pleasantly surprised. I then went and tried the same load but with Hornadys 385gr Great Plains bullet and WOW I actually got a clover leaf right at the bottom of the black. I sight my rifles in like they taught us in the Marine Corp. Point of Aim, equals Point of Impact. I didn't push my luck and decided to call it quits for the day. I know when to quite on a high note.

The only thing I don't like about the Deerstalker is the trigger pull. It must be at least 10lbs. At least it feels that way. Does anybody know if the trigger pull can be lightened, or do you know of any after market triggers or if anybody sells/makes a double triggers for them?
In any case if the Gods smile down on me, the stars are aligned and a doe/buck can stand still long enough broadside, I just might get lucky. That is if she goes off. GRIN
