broke out the Bison yesterday. its been loaded without firing for two 1/2 weeks. I did have one missfire on the 2nd shot but that cylinder fired and scored a hit when I re capped it. despite the massive cylinder to cone gap
I could not miss. notice how that gap seems wider at the top than bottom. first shot was 5x6" steel at 27yrds hit, second shot cap fired , no ignition. 3rd shot hit on 29yrd 5" steel
shot 3 hit on 40yrd 6" plate then a jog through the woods to my 25yrd 5" plate through the trees at an angle. shot 4 was a hit. shot 5 was a miss on a wildly swinging plate. i recapped the one missfired cylinder and shot six was a hit on the 25yrd 5" plate that had calmed down a bit with the swinging. so yes this rig shoots really well but its also really loose. I need to heavily grease the cylinder pin after every cylinder otherwise I need a mallet to loosen the pin. this is what the reciever looks like.
probably about 1k rnds or possibly 1500? 25g T7 3f .454 RB
