Chris,

I am a little late but congratulations on the wonderful buy. I looked at your Lang and started to bid but had bids in on the two Farquharsons which my wallet thanked my for bidding too low (close but low). I am glad you got it and it is a shooter.

My experience with cast and jacketed bullets is that the cast bullet will exit with a higher velocity. Of course, what really matters is accuracy.

BTW, my load for my Lancaster DR 450EX is 48 gr 4198, foam wad, wax wad & 325 gr PP swaged bullet. My Lancaster does shoot well with jacketed or GC bullets.

The Alexander Henry 450EX that I had shot well with 46 gr 4198, foam wad and a 325 fr HC GC bullet and also 42 gr 4198, foam wad, and a 405 gr HC GC bullet.
