I have one of these in route to me now. Want to load up some heavy hunting loads with some WFN 280 grain hard cast bullets.

Plan on slugging the bore, but curious what diameter bullets have shot well for others? I am thinking .432"?

Your rifle will tell you what you should use with regard to diameter. Slug the bore and look to use a diameter of .001-2 over that figure as a starting point. Hard cast is not the answer for hunting loads and they are no guarantee that you will reach high velocity without leading or acceptable accurtacy. Proper fit of the bullet to the throat and moderate alloy composition will serve you better.

Where did you find it. I have been looking for one. I have found a few but the price was a little too stiff for me. Tom.
