Thanks Tim for the heads up on the bore! I don't have the rifle in hand yet but will take delivery within the month. I am presently doing research on the rifle and ammunition and plan on reloading same. Charles Lancaster was a prolific inventor, as I read, and held the patent for the "oval bore". Lancaster apparently designed military weapons and cannons. The oval bore concept was used on cannon and depending on the source had issues with the cannons exploding. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_William_Lancaster
