Hey, if you also wear a camouflage hat people won't be able to see what you're thinking !

@HairyMark13 the 50 stands for bullet diameter and the 90 stands for 90 grains of blackpowder

not bad shooting....considering all that wind & such a light barreled rifle ,shooting a massive round 50/90....how did your shoulder look the next morning...hahaha.
you can see why the buffalo hunters,used a 16+ pound rifle..the barrel looking more like a axle,on there horse drawn, supply wagon................
its a shame your not into black powder rifle shooting....i been shooting for 40years ....i reckon your a natural...i see a lot of potential.

Wait til it gets REAL windy!

hey if you want to see some prices on those big bore calibers, go to mashburnssafarimilitarygoods (dotcom) /rifleammo50700.aspx
there you can find lots of factory loaded calibers up to 700 nitro express (which cost 400 dollars for 5 rounds!!!)
have fun ;)

@fullstrutn 85 grains in a 45-70? you would be pouring powder out on the floor.

@fullstrutn Sharps created the .50-90 in the late 1800's to specifically hunt Buffalo. It also came in .50-100 and .50-110. The round is considered "obsolete" now a days.
But, to reference your comment, all 3 were created by the Sharps Maunfacturing Company in or around the 1870's I believe.

@fullstrutn I'm not really into old firearms.I think the 50-90 refers to the round,the rifle is custom.It was VERY windy and a little over 200 yards.I can shoot 3" slugs all day and that 50-90 was kickin' My ass.
