This is most interesting ! There is a very small urban creek nearby that flows through the town's old industrial park that is now mostly a municipal recreation area. I fish a brief 1/4 mile stretch that had several distinct "runs" to it as they say. No trout but sunfishes and small redeye ...

Those are "bullety" looking bullets as Dean Grennell used to say.

Your lower load for squirrel with two patched balls complete and thoroughly seated on the powder and on one another will simply snatch the soul out of deer. Round balls penetrate better at 900 fps than at 1400. That 1800 fps. you cite slows down to only 100 to 150 fps higher at 100 yds. than the ver...

I have experimented similarly with both slugs and pistol cartridge rifled inserts with nowhere near the positive results you have achieved.

Bravo Zulu !

I have done some experimenting along this line and my advice is carry a solid wiping stick/rod for loosening stuck cases. A 3/8" dowel rod at .375" +/- just barely clears the full choke. .444 marlin cases fit in some .410s and clever round-ball (2 or 3) loads can be crafted. Elongated bull...

One chamber in the .357 vaquero needs them to be straightened in a Lee carbide die. Likewise one in the sp-101 and two in the gp-100.
