I wanted something harder hitting than .457rb for hunting whitetail this fall but all conicals that I found were just too small. The box arrived a day ahead of scheduled, was packaged very well, and everything was intact and looked great. Here are some pictures of the unpacking today. The first pic is a well packaged (taped up good), the second page is the contents of the box, 3 is unpackaged, and 4 is assembled with a few goodies he included. Some 220gr Universal bullets, some wooden coffee stirrers to smoke cavities and a bit of his coconut/beeswax bullet lube.Sorry that dragged on so long, will let you know how it casts after I clean lube and smoke it. He still has molds, if you are interested send me a PM and I will e-mail you a copy of his newsletter.
