Dugaboy,

1) I don't expect to shoot any cape buff with these loads, but I would happly shoot anyrthing in NA with them, they are hunting bullets. I do plan on working up a good cape buff load with 500 grain woodleight bullets.

2) I do expect to find more once-fired federal cases, because there are loads of non-reloaders out there. Think of the thousands of federal (the best) .470 cases that have gone into the trash.

3) I like to shoot my double rifles alot: 500-600 in my .375 since July and 50 in my .570 in the last two weeks alone. I need a good practice load that is dirt cheap, and there is now way you can convince me that $0.67 per shot is not cheap, my .375 come in a bit less.

4) Lets consider the powder. By using R15 I can get away with much less than I8031 or whatever it is.

5) Final word - there are a lot of guys who can't shoot their big bores because they are scared the hell of them. I plan on becomeing a marksman with mine, in fact - I won the Nitro 1 class and pulled a second in two other events with my .375 double, and that was against guys with scoped bolt guns!
