Barrel is 30" standard Shiloh bull barrel. Several years back Kirk did a chamber job on it for me; cut a 7 degree leade and it's smooth! Bullet is the .446" BACO PPMB at 1-40 alloy. Use this paper to patch with:

102 gr. KIK 2F compressed to .300" and I use a lube cookie of same thckness. One .030" VW atop powder and a .060" adjacent bullet. Bullet seated .200" into case and then I give a very light taper crimp. When I seat the bullet I can feel the paper engrave against the lands. Dean fired a 5/8" group with this dude when he had it! If I hadn't had my head up me Irish arse....and called the two shots over toward 7 o/clock....this one would have been all in that small white!!
