Went out today with the .50 cal wolverine and No excuse .460 gr conicals. the .503 NE conicals load vary nice in this rifle, they seem to be a good fit.i am still going to slug the bore and order Bullshops at a later date. BS conicals are less expensive.i started out using 70 gr pyrodex after foulng the barrel with 3 caps, first 2 shots at 5 o clock.adjusted the peep sight up and took 3 more shots 3-4 o clock.adjusted the peep to raise POI,increased powder to .75 gr 3 shot(2 touching in red) 3rd below first 2 my error.if i would have did my part that should have been a 3 shot group all touching. rifle has a NECG peep sight mounted on it. took some getting used to. sorry the picture have to be opened, i don't know how to post pictures well. i am also going to give shot cards a try and see if they increase accuracy. overall i think this rifle and bullet combo has the potential to be extremely accurate and it was a lot of fun.Ray http://s133.photobucket.com/albums/q...ginMF1/target/

Target was at 50 yds no wad or shot card. i did lightly damp swab once between shots.i am going to try 777 loose after i buy some shot cards. been shooting a scope for so long the peep sight took a little getting used to.accuracy also seemed better with 75 gr pyrodex vs 70.the more i shot the more comfortable i was.next time out i will raise the POI some and then out to 100 yds lol.i will say the NE 460 fit my wolverine bore nicely, i am still going to slug it before i buy more conicals, which will be bullshops. they are a lot cheaper and my understanding is excellent quality also..Ray
