More from Sir Jerry/gunner500:

"Playing with 45-110 bull barrel in massive full value 25 mph winds at 300 yards, 530-gr PP."



"45-110 bull gun in 400 yard variable winds, 530-gr PP."



"45 3-1/4 at 300 yards, 500-gr gov. bullet."



"45 3-1/4 700 yard gong, 500-gr gov. bullet."



"And when all the stars align, 3 at 400 yards, 45-70, 530-gr PP, so damn nice."



How about the 570-ish grainers in a 45-70 lever action ?
Loaded with BP, it still fully penetrates a 55-gallon steel drum filled with water,
bulges the barrel ends and buries the bullet in a tree behind the barrel:







I would have to review my notes to say anymore about it, but gunner500 might elaborate a bit on that last load.

I have an NOE mould for a 600-gr FNGC (WW alloy) that might come out at 570-gr cast in my hardball alloy.
The mould also has hollow pointing capability and three sets of HP studs that vary from just a dimple to pretty deep.
I'll get to it eventually, imitating Selous' loads with the .458 WM+.
More of the stuff from the BPCR Masters, gunner500 and sharpsguy, tomorrow.
