I didn't get round to fitting the scope as I need to drive out a 1/16" roll pin to remove the rear sight and the bastards stuck firm. I will try again and if necessary I will drill it out when I get a bit of time. Don't judge the accuracy based on the picture below as that's more me and my failing eyesight with open sights blowing that group out rather then the pistol. I'm heading down to Mildura Thursday night for the last of the 50Cal competitions this year so I'll pack the BFR and have some fun on the 100m gong if I manage to get the scope fitted. I also have access to a 500 S&W and 50AE so I will try to video a bit of a comparison of how they recoil.
I bought some Hornady 325gr FTX ammo cause I was too lazy to move the 400kg of crap in front of my main ammo safe at home to get to the stuff I had. I noticed on the boxes that it's marked "Not for use in revolvers" but the body of that ad on their site says the opposite. I have no idea why Hornady specifically says not to use that round in revolvers, the BFR is rated for Bear Loads which is about as hot as you can buy. Till I figure this out I ended up just buying a box of Federal although I did fire 4 rounds of the Hornady without the world ending.
Next mods on this pistol will be to get the scope sorted and I'm meeting with a gunsmith on Wednesday about another project but I'll see if he can thread the barrel on this thing for a compensator.
Wylie27 came along to get some action pictures and he shot the video in the link below. Now that the initial post is done I'm hoping he'll add some of his pictures showing the near perfect ring of fire from the muzzle.
