[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3879547, member: 15054"] I wanted to get into it years ago and my FIL told me do it. Get a rifle and some Pyrodex and some power belt bullets and primers. I got a CVA Bobcat from Walmart $58 and went shooting it. Filed down the brass front sight and it shot amazingly accurate and kicked like Chuck Norris. Pounded my cheek at the same time. But stupid accurate. Killed a few deer with it. I do like a good inline break over that makes the primer easy to get to. A bolt gun type is hit or miss as some make it easy to remove primer and insert another one and others it is a beech and requires a tool or knife to pry it out. I have shot a few different ones and all are accurate within 2MOA and if you really find a sweet spot it will get better than that. 1:48 twist works well with the powerbelt in 50 cal. As does the 1:28 and the 1:28 shoots the sabot very well. Son has a CVA Kodiak inline and it is very good never a misfire. My Bob cat side lock eeehhh it will misfire. I put a new hammer spring in it and it is better. Be sure you can find primers for the one you plan on getting. I prefer an inline with the 209 primer but that Bob Cat has put a lot of meat on the table for cheap. [/QUOTE]
