    Yes. I missed out and would take a re-make of that one.

    RF,

    Looks like it was done 3 years ago. Maybe someone will do another one soon.

    I have one from the first GB. Nice boolit, like a .30 caliber wadcutter.

    I get about 2.5 inches at 100 for 5 shot groups. That's all I get from that rifle with any loads. It likes to be pushed hard.

    Paco Kelly seems pretty fond of this boolit. He wrote something to the effect that it hits like a sledge hammer.

    Just voted yes. David haven't you ran a buy? Let's get on with it, so we'll have it before deer season. Health won't let me run a buy.

    No I haven't. I am not opposed to it. However, I would prefer an experienced Honcho do this GB and this one as well:

    About 155 gr. as cast. Here is a modified version to look at:

    There are 10 interested so far. Looks like a GB should go.

    I am willing to run the GB but never have done one, what are the qualifications?

    I would be perfectly happy to have an experienced Honcho run it as well.

    Anyone, anyone??

    Anyone have an objection to doing this in a 2-Cavity?

    2 cav Lee? Would much rather have a 6 cav, unless it's NEI. Speaking of which, if no one steps up as honcho, I would give it a whirl, but with NEI. (Would Old West Bullet Mould make this one?)

    Well, let's just stick to the 6-cavity then. I am fine with that, just thought the cost would be lower for the 2-cavity and we might have more folks throw in on it.

    Let's stick to 6-cavity.
