That's a fine looking gun. I hope it shoots as well as it looks.

Pretty rifle!

Thanks, so far the rifle shot great but the groupings can get much smaller according to the manufacturer. The reason for my thread is to get more info/tips on the finer points of accuracy and matching bullets to the bore-size.

Some guys do and some don't. I prefer to put a bit of bullet lube on it myself.

You could also try those MMP sub bases found here http://mmpsabots.com/store/50-cal-bb...idge-sub-base/

Semi swears by them, especially when using a full bore monolithic copper or brass bullet. That link is for .50 cal SB's but I assume they have .45 caliber ones as well.

You've got the wrong guy SuperHunt. I don' use those, or ever even tried them.

Nope I am the guy that uses them and they work great!!!

They don't make a sub-base in .45 caliber though. Veggie Wads are the way to go.
