Good day to shoot some buffalo...well, a target that was later stuck to a buffalo....

Was holding off on shooting black powder as conditions are dry but this morning was foggy and the grass was wet so I headed to the range. Only a few rounds shot but I was pleased with the results.

50 yds, off hand standing
Frontier .50 cal, double set triggers
60 gn Goex 2F powder
.490 lead ball, .015 patch


As most of you know I filed the front sight down months ago and what a difference it made. If I do my part, this rifle is deadly accurate. LOVE IT.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out the buffalo hunt...shoot safe, RR

I'd say you're also deadly accurate. That is some impressive work, gun and shooter.

You like that real black vs the triple 7

I like both. Triple 7 is super easy to clean up and 50 grains packs as much or more of a punch than 60 grains of Goex in my opinion.

Ya but it deosnt smell as good

Haha ya got a point there.

Dangit RR, the both of y'all together are a fine pair, way to go.

Yer prolly gonna half to boil that buffalo, looks pretty tough to me……



Nice shooting.

Yep..another dead buffalo! I here the wings are tasty!!!

Fire and brimstone come to mind when you use real black powder.
