Make me think of Shooting across the snow - I’m in 25% of the country without.

I got to ask Ron what type of hearing protecting do you use in your truck. I can't imagine how loud that bang is

Ron, do you size those bullets to .451 to load them? I can't get the stock .452/250 grain Deep Curl into the muzzle of my .45's.

Van, 0.452 bullets are a way way too large to go down the barrel of this rifle. The bullet shot today was sized down to about 0.4501" or 0.4500". It was easy to push down to the powder. Using the 777 powder also seems to affect the desired size of bullets.

When burning Blackhorn powder, a bullet sized to about 0.4503", or 0.4502", can be readily pushed down to the powder in this rifle.

Gary requested more information about the window rest. Photo should help understand. It is home made. Photo show a slight different variation.
