They said this will work out better for them since this will up the qty for the special run. They mentioned that they have a fellow in San Antonio,Texas that gets a couple of boxes of these ever couple of years. Any idea who that might be? How to Hunt Wisconsin Whitetail Deer with a Cannon

Actually, those 2 are the only ones I have ever seen or heard of. Of course, they are lots of bolt actions out there, but they don't need the exact bullet.

If he has been using these bullets for a few years, perhaps he might have some load suggestions. How to Hunt Wisconsin Whitetail Deer with a Cannon

Also 208 gr.is close enough to make a trial worthwhile. Mike

Although I have experience with shooting oversize lead bullets, I never shoot jacketed bullets that are over groove dia. in antique guns. It isn't worth risking damage to a nice gun, just to save a few dollars. The weather forecast for tomorrow is about 38 degrees, so I just might get a chance to test this little double.

I would not go over .327 in my case, and the weight is off as well. I have actually some PRVI on order, but it certainly won't be my first try. As for the loading I am converging to the ball park of 40 grs of IMR4895. WC-
