    What is your barrel's twist rate? A 1 in 16 twist is "challenged" beyond about 45 grains.
    We need somebody/something to keep the government (cops and bureaucrats too) HONEST (by non government oversight).

    Every "freedom" (latitude) given to government is a loophole in the rule of law. Every loophole in the rule of law is another hole in our freedom. When they even obey the law that is. Too often government seems to feel itself above the law.

    We forgot to take out the trash in 2012, but 2016 was a charm! YESSS!

    How way down south are you Dover?, Cockle Creek? or just Hobart?
    The CBE molds are a pleasure to cast with, I've got one for the 32/20 and it's a gem. If I can get a marlin 375 I'll be getting his 220 gn mold for that.

    The rifle is a CBC break open single shot the twist seems to be about 1:16 it shoots 40 gr V-max extremly well planing to use the cast bullits for plinking and maybe rabbits

    A very handy gun it came with a .410 barrel that can be changed out in seconds bought it for my daughter to learn with after shes good enough with the .22 i didnt want a bolt action that relied only on a safety swich. once loaded the hammer has to be manualy cocked

    im just north of Hobart it must be the driest place on earth at the moment havent had rain in months
