More good stuff Sir Ron, currently covered up with another issue, but happily living vicariously through you guys till i can get back in the load shop and shooting bench/sticks.
Sir Jerry, Understood, I just tweaked my left knee and it is slowing me down a bit. I stupidly sprained the medial collateral by side-hopping into the back of a pickup truck ! Now have to sit at the loading bench with a straight left leg for the next few days. Not as bad as I did the right knee, lateral collateral, 20 years ago by slipping on moss-covered Tennessee rocks, side-hilling while hunting boar with a spear. That one healed perfectly without a trace of problems. I'll be back !
Meanwhile, I have consulted Bubba about a .458/ 400-gr solid. He can easily transform a 500-gr TBSS into a 400-gr XTBSS. Same as Otto Candies, Jr. did with the .475-cal/ 500-gr TBSS for elephant hunting with the .475 Linebaugh.
Still on the lookout for the .458/ 400-gr HYDRO, even .45-70 Gov't. shooters snatch these up whenever they are in stock:
