Hey Daryl--- Thanks for another informative post.

I was in BC earlier this year for a quickie visit. Drove up from Washington State at about 1:30 AM. Had to stop in the middle of the highway twice that night and meander through the herds of elk. During that 2 day visit I saw so many elk, deer, mountain sheep, a bear, a moose... BC has amazing wildlife.

My sisterinlaw owns land in Terrace and wants me to help build her an off-the-grid cabin there. I might exchange it for hunting rights.

Yeah I am holding on to the theory that I can get those round balls (Tanner Mold in .724 dia) to shoot well in my double 12 gauge. Those Brenneke Black Magics in 607 grain are supposed to be .730 in diameter. I guess those rails aswage down so there are no problems scooting down a bore than is smaller in diameter than the .730. I only make mention of them because they shoot so well but they do break up horribly when hitting anything hard. I think a hardened round ball would work even better quite frankly.

I think the solid round ball is still a terrific big game 'slug'.
