This was the first time I got to shoot my P-H Volunteer since I epoxy bedded it, and the first time I'd tried it with grease groove bullets. Both things were successful. As I got it, the tang sat too low and the barrel was hitting the lock plate. Tightening the tang screw would lift the barrel out of the forend. So, the epoxy fixed that and now there's way less stress and much less chance of damage and stock splitting. The bullets were the Lee 405gr hollow base Government bullet copy that Spence Wolf commissioned. I cast them in pure lead, ran them through the .457" lubrisizer and then the .450" push through. Started at 70 grains of powder, sounded weak. 80 sounded better but was hitting a bit low. 90 grains put them dead on to the sights and 10 grouped into less than 2 inches at 100 yards. I'm pretty enthused that it was working so well, especially with my old eyes. A fun day of shooting for the holiday!
