A friend campaigns a 50-90. When it goes off, you know. Most folks are shooting 600 + gr slugs.

Plus they are worse than my 110's for eating powder. I get around 64 rounds per pound (7000 gr = 1 lb, 7000 / 108 = 64.8) and 12.96 bullets per lb of lead (using a 540 gr creedmore).

They can get pricey to shoot. It is $362.50 to get a case of Goex 1F delivered.
