old roller for the 2014/2015 season

JR, That's a good question, and it's not the first time a fellow shooter asked it either. It is a very good do-all cartridge, and it performs well in the wind we have here in the northern plains.

In all fairness I'm working on a good hunting style pp bullet for my Shiloh .45/70 that weighs around 500-510 gr. or so. I have what seems to be good target bullet of about 540 gr., but I need a bullet w/ a better nose style for effective wound channels. Many of these big cast bullets seem to go through bones like a candy bar, but good wound channels in soft tissues are also very good especially if the impact spot wasn't quite dead-centered.

Regards
