Great Plains Hunter

Poodleshooter · October 21, 2011, 04:16 PM

Does anyone here have a .50 Great Plains Hunter? If so, how does it stabilize maxi and minie conicals such as the Lee REAL or Lee 360gr minie? Does it have good deep rifling to engrave conicals?

I've currently got a GPR flintlock,which is great for patched round ball, but I'd like to retrofit it with a GPH barrel to also be able to shoot my cast conicals.

My current inline doesn't seem to stabilize them worth beans, and I have tons of 320gr and 360gr conicals just sitting around.

Here's some range reports by the forum moderator about his fairly new Great Plains Hunter flintlock with a 1 in 32" twist firing a variety of projectiles:
