Way more than needed for what? I use the same charge for targets that I use for hunting and I was never happy with a 90 grain charge. Anything less would have been unacceptable. If it had grouped well with 100 - 110 grains I would have used that. I killed a lot of deer with my .50 but I don't...

I hunted with a .50 Cal for 30 years with a 90 grain charge and all too often I got no exit wound and I was left tracking deer with little to no blood trail. Once I moved up to a .54 with a 90 grain charge all that ended. and I never looked back I diss the N-SSA because they don't use original...

I don't see where you said that at all.

I don't like wimpy loads either and I abhor punching paper. I don't like shooting off of a bench either. I'll shoot off a bench at paper when I sight a rifle in but once I get a load worked up for it it rarely sees paper again.

I don't like the slide mounted safety. I don't like the decocker or DA/SA. I like the Taurus 92 FS a lot better. It still has a decocker and is DA/SA but at least the safety is frame mounted and I don't have to use the DA.

Kibler Woodsrunner.

I would hope so. 😁 SO, how much was it cut back? How much powder will it hold?

I don't hate Pyrodex. I used it for many years, I just prefer black. Now if I was going hunting and didn't have anything but Goex or Pyrodex I'd use Pyrodex. Seems like a cut down cylinder would have a helluva cylinder gap.

Either one. 2F works fine.

No. The Pietta cylinder is longer.

I don't know how accurate this is. I haven't measured anything myself.

My .50 liked 90 grains.

I don't know what zhears are but a pair of medical utility scissors don't cost much and will cut anything from paper to coins and 1/4 inch thick leather.

That's a nice rifle except somebody screwed up and put the lock on the wrong side. :p What Malachi said except I'm pretty sure that barrel is going to have a round ball twist.

Yeah it's the same frame.
