40-70 and the dd patched

[Distant Thunder]

Don,

As I have said many times that is not my design, I just "borrowed" it from pictures of old cartridges. I just like the looks of it and it seems to fit the old cartridges so well from a looks standpoint. Also it is proving to be a design that is very easy to get accurate results with in a number of different rifles, in .45 caliber too. I know one guy who is shooting that design in a .45-90 and doing much better than he was with various GG bullets he tried. In .45 caliber it does well out 1000 yards. I've no doubt it will shoot that far in .40 caliber, just how well I'd like to know.

It's not a high BC bullet, but I know you know just how much that matters! Maybe the ODG knew a thing or two?
