The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
I'm betting it's a 577 Snider...
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." ...Unknown
I enjoy my 577 Snider Carbine, but it sure does KICK!!

That's my Grand dad's Snider!
My Great Uncle Earle MAY have used this one in competition before it was cut down, I'm not too sure.
it has a Peddie sight on it made by VSM which is super adjustable for windage and elevation, but with the factory front sight on it , it's about two feet high at 100 yards!!
I'm thinking the POI was a lot lower with the longer barrel.
Cuts bullets at 100however, with 4759, trail Boss, or BP loads.
scopes and bags are cool, but palm rests 'n' irons RULE!
