RE: Lyman Trade Rifle in .54 a good choice?
ekyle
Without hestitation i would suggest to you a Trade Rifle is a good gun. I have had a .54 for several years now and it is a preformer.
There has been a lot of good advice about a slower twist if you are set on shooting PRB's only. The 1-48 is a compromise to shoot conicals and RB's. But, I will also tell it will shoot sabots and bullets really, really well...
I can not give you any first hand knowledge about RB's because I shoot the sabot thing...
