Thanks Steve.

Here is some brass at Buffalo Arms:

Buffalo Arms and I know each other well. Being new with low postings, can I place a WTB in the classifieds?

Sure you can.

This is the most polite and informative thread in a long time. Thank you! Really enjoyed learning something...and I'm not even into double rifles!

I have to say, I have certainly been informed and directed to fine advice. It's all new to me and to be welcomed like this is grand.

That's what we try to do here, again & again.


Serbus,

Hey all.

I received my rifle back from Steve at Bertram & Company for a repair of a cracked tang. Absolutely some of the best welding and blending I have seen. You would never know it was cracked. And with the engraving redone. Hat's off to ya Steve. Thanks for the reference. I'll give a range report in a few weeks.

Shooting a double rifle, and especially hunting with one, is awesome. I bought mine in 2004 and quickly learned that it will pretty much force you into reloading if you weren't there already as you basically sight the gun in by adjusting the speed of your bullets. Until going actively into all this, I couldn't imagine that softs and solids can shoot differently, even with the same load, or that crimping or not (I found that you definitely should), would impact the the POA if you're really particularly about things like that. A chronograph eventually becomes your best friend along with Graeme Wright's book. As recommended earlier, accuraterelaoding.com is an awesome resource.

Have fun!

I load for a lot of oddball black powder calibers. Each one has it's own perks. Makin em shoot well is the fun part. I have all I need to reload now except the time. It is kinda hard to justify spending that large amount of dollars to get Graeme Wright's book. But if I find a raggedly one reasonable, I'll snatch it. Thanks all for the help.
