Bullberry 50 cal Muzzleloader barrels. Anyone own one?
« on: December 01, 2006, 12:44:01 PM »
Just wondering if they can make these to work with the TC style forend and if they come with a ramrod.

What kind of accuracy do you get with them?  I'm looking to buy a 24" version but want some opinions first.

Any other custom barrel makers offer a 50 cal ML?

Thanks

I believe that Match Grade Machine (formerly Virgin Valley Custom Guns) is making custom ML barrels for Encores.  Here is a link.http://www.matchgrademachine.com  I have a Pro Hunter ML barrel that shoots pretty good for a production barrel.

I have a SS 209 x 50 Bullberry barrel for my Encore. The barrel has NO provision for the ramrod. In other words you have to carry it in some fashion other than under the barrel. The finish is nice & it shoots fine for me . I have harvested several W T deer with it -infact yesterday afternoon I shot a nice doe about 115 lbs dressed . New it was over $ 400.00 with a nice forend . I purchased it from the fellow that had it made with the forend for $ 175.00 , this is my second Bullberry -both are very good shooters . The other is a 22K Hornet that puts them in 1 hole at 100 . One other thing the extractor for the primer is held in with a roll pin -not a screw . I don't know if thats good or bad , but I would like to be able to use one of those T/C extractors that moves to the side -much easier to clean / remove the breach plug . I hope this helps .By the way ,the original owner shot an Elk at 177 yards with it -dropped it ! I'm using 80 grains of 777-3f-with a 240 gr JHP  HAWK bullet that has a .025 jacket-& -a T/C black sabot .
