Righto! Bring on that cat

Fired my 50/90 today with the 650gn bullets backed with 95gn FFG Swiss.

First shot turned heads, second took a piece out of my nose with the tang sight, after a slight adjustment in sights and holding, the third hit the steel plate at 200m. Wack! CLANG the plate fairly didn't want to stop swinging.

As I bought this as a hunting rifle, I just got to find a wild cat to try it on.

Hold still varmint; while I plugs yer!

A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!"

Sounds like just the right medicine for cats.

Bakes,

You need to find BAW something bigger than pigs for that Sharps "Big 50". Camel, water buff, feral bull, donkey....

My Lyman Reloading Handbook and I want to know where the .50-140-3-1/4 Sharps is?

Saw one on Gunsamerica in a single-shot handgun once.

BAW, please don't feel inferior, you child photo will inspire us to new heights over at the crat forum!

Sorry about the nose. Crats make good targets for the 50-90, just not much left for snacks is all.
