   Correct on the bullet diameter. However, I believe bullet weight is intended to be between 280gr - 360gr for subs, specifically so they will stabilise in a 1:3" to 1:4" twist rate barrel.

   I primarily hunt using a single shot rifle, so there is always "one up the spout". The rifle has a cocking hammer, but no safety. I hunt alone in the bush with this setup and only cock the rifle just...
