I appreciate the passion and decorum everyone is showing. Thank you.

For now I am trying to get this rifle to shoot with black. Looking forward to getting back to the range next week with new rounds to try. I am using a .504 bullet intended to be patched. I've now loaded a few patched rounds. I will need to crimp them I think as they won't fully chamber. If that doesn't work, then lighter bond paper.

Thanks again all! And thanks for the compliments on the rifle. It is a joy.
