Re: Heym Model 26B Double Rifle .45-70

The above mentioned 325 Hornady bullet is not to my liking -- same for the over under configuration.

In either my 9.5 pound 1886 .458 2.4 or my 8.5 pound .458 2.1 DR that Hornady cartridge is not pleasant to shoot. The feel reminds me of shooting .458 300 grain handloads at 2600 fps, just an unpleasant load.
Even our African ele loads of 450 grain North Fork solids at 2150 fps are more pleasant to shoot.

I have a 20 round box to trade for something I do like, say Winchester Gold .458 Nosler PP with which I have had very good luck and which also took a leopard for our bullet testing team.
