Thompson Pro Hunter
I'm thinking about purchasing a Pro Hunter next fall in 50cal. What intrigues me is the ability to purchase extra barrels. I'm seeking some reviews on the 50 cal and any ideas on loads/projectiles. Thanks for the input.

I shoot an Endeavor, it uses a wide range of loads, it is very accurate with the new Lehigh bullets especially the 200gr 50/40 it likes VERY HEAVY loads of Blackhorn with them. It also does very well with the 250 gr bullets in the FTX and Shock Wave brands. I also have had good results with the Nosler and Deep Curl 260 and 250 gr bullets. The .270 barrel shoots excellent and I am considering a 22 rimfire barrel for off hand practice. I worked over the trigger myself and put a Belm kit in it it has a just under 3# trigger that is very crisp. The recoil system on my Endeavor works quite well with very heavy loads but it does not seem to make a lot of difference with normal loads.
