While digging around in my safe tonight, I found a gun I had totally forgotten I had. I've not shot ML for the past 4 years, and found a T/C Black Mountain Magnum Side-Lock with wood stock. I had gotten into shooting PRB before I stopped and went back to center fire, and I don't think this gun will do that with 1:28 twist. Or, has anybody had any luck with PRB in this twist. Really want to try for a doe this year with ML and PRB.....

as they say every gun is a law unto its self you never no until you give it a try.i would start with a low load and work up and find wot it likes best it mite not shoot to well but then again it just mite but the 1in28 twist is for slugs wy not use them.

Got about 30 pounds of plumber's lead in the garage, a pot and a round ball mold, so wanted to get rid of some of it. But, thinking about it, got a .44 cal mold, so I guess I will pour some bullets and sling some lead downrange

It'll be fine if you get close enough! Just in case it doesn't, carry a long knife and stick em if you miss!

I'd bet it would be real good shootin' 300+ grain conicals. You'd might want to designate it yore elk rifle.
