Looking for a new .50

[300 RUM]

I have been trying to get a peep sight from White but they keep saying they are out. I have went by a few times in the last month or so. I know I can sight in high but it would be nice to have a flatter trajectory to lower the chance of error.

Some times you just get a shooter. I had 2 identicle rifles in the same caliber. One could shoot clover leaf groups all day long. The other looked more like a 12 gauge pattern than a rifle group. Needless to say I now own one.

I have several friends that have the model 98's. One has a 98 that you can stick any bullet or powder combo in and that thing is a tack driver. Even when I shoot his gun, I get better patterns than I can do with my own. But none of the others 98's are quite that good. That gun is just amazing!!

That said my gun is not that bad. Like I said earlier it is good, just not great. When I had it scoped for a short time the best I could get was 2-1/2" groups at 100 yards. That was with the 440gr White "Power Punch" bullet with 100 grains of Pyrodex P. I tried several different powder charges and that seemed to be the most consistant.

I just had a friend give me a handfull of assorted "Powerbelt" bullets in a couple of different weights. I have not shot them yet, Have either of you tried them? I dont know how they will do with the overbored barrel.
