Hi Jens,

My 577/500 has a broken stock that still needs to be repaired, so I haven't been able to shoot it lately. Last time I shot it, the stock broke through the wrist where an old rather deep crack was (I had no idea how deep it was). That repair will have to wait though because I'm currently making payments on a E.M. Reilly 10-bore double rifle that needs a good home! At any rate, I only shoot paper patched bullets out of my express rifles and the Grant shoots very well with those bullets. The only thing that I want to eventually try is Goex Olde Eynsford 1-1/2 black powder. From the results that some of my friends have had, I expect that it will work very well in the 577/500. Have fun with that Manton!

Regards,

Jim
