That 330-grain was designed in the 1880's-1890's from what I've read, and has been around ever since(Lyman mold). I doubt it'd be good for long range, but it does shoot well, and has a reputation as a reliable killer on game.Firehandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562365951182027709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-41113401204094967232017-05-11T05:20:19.407-07:002017-05-11T05:20:19.407-07:00WOW.

And what is the barrel twist rate on your rifle? I am new at BPCR guns and I was under the impression that target work with the big buffalo guns required bullets in the 525 gr. range...<br /><br />That is some great shooting!Glen Filthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256741311142364722noreply@blogger.com
