40-90BN and paper patch

[Eric Johanen]

It is much closer to a Medford type than either an Elliptical or "Money" design. Just sent Brook's some bullets Stephen sent me only requested a slightly larger flat nose. I do not shoot game at more than 200 yards and the slightly bigger flat nose diameter should impact harder and disrupt more tissue better than a "target" bullet design. 440 grains shoots well and is heavy enough to give good service for hunting white tails or larger game. Currently using 75.0 grains of KIK 2fg behind it and want to test 2fg OE. I am using it patched to .439 for the 1'st shot and .436 for follow up shots to chamber easy over fouling. .436 is accurate enough for follow up shots within 200 yards. Either the 440 or 475 grain RN are working well on steel to 400 yards which seems to be my limit so far with the open iron sights. Lot's of fun with this rifle and the 44-77!
