Fired my Gallagher t'other day ....
Load was the Rapine 'Xmas Tree' bullet I use in my .54 Shiloh Sporter and 40 grs FFg. A bit much bullet for the carbine, but the Lee REAL bullet and Lee .54 Minie would not allow one of the brass cases to be seated behind them.
Not knowing what to expect, I fired offhand at 25 yds. First shot hit 1-1/2" above POA, dead centre for windage. Next four rds went into a roup 2-3/4", 4" higher. Two rds on top of each other, two 1" apart centre to centre. Looks like the fast 1x18" twist stabilized the big bullet just fine.
Next I tried some paper rds using the REAL bullet and the 'Xmas Tree' - bad idea! Lacking any kind of gas seal, the pressure was enough to thrust the barrel forward ("... for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction ...") and cause the lever to unlatch. Disconcerting .... ;>(
Anything and everything that could get gas blasted did, necessitating a detailed stripping for cleaning. This thing is built like a tank!
Now I'm in the market for a 540 RB mould and a 300 gr ringtail. Who makes 'em?
