George,

I'd like to try flinging big chunks of lead from a 45 Colt rifle. My dad has some replicas. I may inherit one. I imagine a 300 would get to 1000 in a rifle with the right powder, and still stay kosher for pressure. That should be good for timber stalking. He also has an 1895 CB. These guns are a few of the reasons I am intrigued with what you did there. I am itching to try it out, kinda sorta how the old timers did it. And how some are apparently still doing it. Without all the smoke, or round-nosed bullets, though.


I belong on eroding granite, among the pines.
