That's a fairly fast twist, no?
Should be able to run a fairly heavy, 450gr plus, conical at about 1800 plus with a little load tinkering, wouldn't ya say?
Why did you choose the .50 for the platform?
Elkie and Deerie are the average man's safari?
With that 15/16 bbl, you'll be able to build a fire in that thing that will put some hurt on your shoulder!

Back when you lived in WA, you lived in what I always think of as one of the most beautiful places on earth.....Forks!
Never seen anything like it before, and I've certainly seen nothing better since.

Used to Steelhead on the Hoh and the Dickey, wonderful country, wonderful water.
Fished the Dickey for years until the Quileute closed the launch site outside La Push.
I used to fish the Queets too....Ox-Bow launch, IIRC, or something to that effect
I lived in Shelton for 20+ years before moving over here to Central WA....Moses Lake to be more precise.
Gave up my sled for a Walleye Boat. I can see the Lake, and I can see the boat launch at the end of the street, and that is just as it should be. A wonderful little town for an old retiree.
I'm about 30 or so minutes from the big river at Vantage....anytime I get that burning urge to pull some plugs, it ain't all that far away.

Keep up the good work!  :lt th
Projects like yours will keep an old man awake all day. It don't get no mobeta than being able to cook up something in the mind,  then go out in the shop and just do it!

Sounds like a mirror to my life for 30 years.  I've fished all those places as well, Have had 3 drift boats thru the yrs. The Hoh is my #1 river of choice.  Never fished out a Vantage,  just shot ducks & geese all around that area.  Crab crk & Warden 2 places I spent a bunch a time. I truly miss it. I didn'y choose the .50 it's actually for a $$$ client.  As far as load ???  around 100 gr. & some kinda conical is what he wants.  Recoil, don't tell a soul but he also specified a super magnun Pacmayer pad!.....Tom
