[Distant Thunder]

Well, Don, I guess I'll just have to get my 19-twist .44-77 on order so I can see for myself how well a 1.3 will do at 1000!
I'm not kidding either, I would really like to have a Hartford built and if I did it would be a 30" standard weight octagon, single trigger, shotgun butt and maybe one step up in wood. That would make an excellent hunter. I would love to try it at 1000 though.
No flies on that original Postell of Brooks'. I think those old round nose designs are too often over looked in favor of the money designs and I believe the round nose in most cases will out shoot the money. In part because most people are shooting those money bullets that are a bit too long for their twist rate.
