I know that much is said about how accurate the old times gund are.
I am not saying this is typical but it is possible.

I'm amazed that 1 in 48 is stabilising those bullets.

Iv never used anything other than balls in my 1 in 48 50 cal

Yes it is a surprise.
But an interesting one.
Curious how the Lyman 54 cal GPH would go with the 1:32" or it may be quicker. can't remember.
Need better than factory sights.
