No worry about the flames!

I do shoot some heavy bullets. That being said, only a very small percentage of the rounds fired through my Smiths are heavy loads. The vast majority are the 8.5 and 10 grain Unique loads.

I doubt I shoot more tha 5% heavies. There is no need. I do not shoot at large criiers all that much as compared to smaller ones.

10 grains of Unique with a cast bullet will do more damage to animals than most would think.

This boar took one single round through the shoulder (which I am told is a bad place to hit them) and expired quickly.

You can see the grey smear where the bullet entered.

The load was 10 grains Unique with a 240 grain Lasercast SWC.
