hey everyone i live here in montana and always look for new ways to dispose of the gophers and other pesky animals that need to be kept in check. I shoot a Lyman trade rifle in .50 cal and always get a kick out of shooting gophers with it but i was just wondering if anyone else varmint hunts with theirs?

When I lived in PA, I used to hunt groundhogs quite often with my flintlocks in
.40, .50 and .54 calibers. A lot of fun!

50 cal out to 40 yd. Any further the target gets "too small" for me
