What would be agood bullet, and grain to shoot? What about the barrle twist, what would be better, 1:27 or 1:28 twist? Pyrodex, or pellets??? Thanks and good hunting

Jason,I got a t/c black diamond ER (extended range) and just love the gun.Its a 1 in 28 twist with a 26 inch barrel shooting 2 pellets and a 240 grain bullet.You might think im full of b/s but I shot a nice buck last year the last 5 min. of our m/l season at 170 yards he ran about 50 yards.You cant go wrong with t/c.Good luck

I own a black diamond .50 cal and love it. I shoot CVA powerbelts (295 grain) with 2 pyrodex pellets (100 grains) and it is extremely accurate and very reliable.
