Thats the gun I am using, except mine has a little splatter paint on the stock, and I'd imagine a few more dings dents and scratches.

BY far my favorite hunting gun.

This was one of doc whites 460-something grainers. I have a few left, trying to use them up (on deer).

I typically use the 460 no excuses, and my all time favorite (most accurate, hardest hitting, best looking) are some 460 grainers a campfire friend made for me. I need to get a copy of that mould and cast some more soon.

I used to use 80 grains of 2f, but have decreased to 60 grains of 3f the past couple seasons. The big heavy soft lead just doesnt need that much powder to get to a good killing velocity.

Maybe I should up the charge though... this one did run off a bit
