several years ago I built a 15" black powder encore

barrel in 50 caliber. With 3 of the 50 grain pellets it was accurate and a hand full. Then after doing all necessary stuff, putting a scope on it and such I found out black powder pistols were illegal for big game in Arizona. It has changed now I think and Nate is thinking of building himself one like mine. He is also thinking about building a flintlock pistol. That is way above my aspirations.

Gary.

What would a barrel like that cost?

May be a project for next season.

ordered for months from TC. So I have no idea when or if we can build another. With TC up for sale again everything is up in the air.

TC used to make a BP handgun barrel many years ago.

Nowhere as nice as a GNR. I bought one from Huey also.
Have seen them on GB, but rarely.
I think a rifle barrel could be cut down too. Always thought a 45 caliber would be nice.

compared to Pyrodex, perhaps 20% faster velocities in a revolver. I need to chrono my rifle. I know you like those Barnes homogeneous bullets, they sure work for you.

I have one inline, the first I've bought for myself. I need to shoot it. Also I have a good supply of CVA belted plated bullets. I'm motivated now.

Awesome! Congratulations Brian
