Congrats to Bob on winning the Shiloh rifle.

Any loading data on what Bill used in the lever?

[bobw]

Bill told me he had a tight twist barrel put on that 86 for 500+ gr greasers effectively converting it to a single shot and I know for a fact he cornered the supply on now extinct 4759 for it and his folks use. Thanks Ol Jim the rifle is mighty nice 1 st time in my life I ever won anything of real value. bobw

Lump ,and all thanks. Shocked the hell outta me a dang near went into cardiac arrest on the spot. but I made it thru. bobw

[Don McDowell]

Gonna sell it or rebarrel it? Dang thing has a greaser chamber in it you know...

[bobw]

Sure does Don. When I go back to Montana in July I'll have Kirk put a 7 degree leade in it. Not as good as an original tight style but it will be better than std. You can go to the bank on the fact No greaser will ever pollute its bore. bobw

[Don McDowell]

Yup been shooting those 7 degree leads for several years now. They do work better if it's built into the reamer to start with, but reaming later works ok.
