Friwi that's a great idea, now are u supplying a Suppressor?
Great skills and workmanship HB. You have good reason to be proud of the beast! Good luck with the sighting in and make sure you put together a full history for the future, with photos!!!! :cool:

I've got some nice 500 grain lead pills for that, funny I size my 45/70 at .451, ran out of projectiles on Sat night, so sized some of the 458 to 451 and couldn't chamber them, have to pull them and...
They shoot BP slug guns in the US heavy barrelled bench rest guns, always wanted one, they use paper patched lead slugs, very accurate!:cool:
Opportunity?
Your a man of great patience! And an all round clever one, got offered a barrel drilling lathe with drills the other day, ex Tony Hawkins, no button dies for rifling though
