Took my Armi San Marco Hawken .50 cal to the range today and, for the first time really, made a reasonable attempt at serious shooting with it. 25 yards standing, offhand. First time I've made any much effort, as I just got it for the bang and the smoke. Not too shoddy for a smooth bore. (That's the rifle, before any of you alleged humourists take the opportunity. ) Group measures 4.1 something inches, used 50 grains BP and a patched ball. Pleases me anyhow.
