    What do you think?

    I will be shooting heavy conicals in a fast twist (1:28) twist. What do you guys thing of this.....running a lubed patch over the powder, then a dry patch over that. I am thinking that would prtect the base of the bullet and not causing excessive leading. Thanks Guys.

    Proper powder loads "Conicals"

    I have a rifle with a 1:24 twist. I am shooting Buffalo Bullets .385 weight. From what I have read on the net, some say I can load heavy (90-100 grains RS). Others say (use 70-80 grains of RS to slow the bullet down) so it can enguage the shallow groves? What do you think? Thanks

    Elk or Venison?

    I think it depends on what the animal has been eating. Elk is normally better because the eat grass, deer are browsers and eat more twigs and shrubs. I have tasted whietails from the south and midwest, and you can tell the difference from a deer that has been eating corn.

    What projectile should I use?

    I have no dog in this fight........however if conicals were not better the army would not have switched to them.............and the civil war would have been fought with roundballs.

    Safety question
