Curl,

Thank you for your kind words! I have been meaning to update this thread for some time now but I've just been too busy to do it. You did a fine job! I really enjoyed my visit this past weekend and I look forward to doing it again sometime soon. Maybe we can make some headway with the express rifles using black powder.

More testing with the Bone Crusher will be required but what sort of projectile it needs is still not exactly in sharp focus. Spherical ball--definitely not. Probably a bullet in the range of 900 grains is what it's calling for. Of course, I need to learn how to shoot better as well--that will help immensely!

Chasseur,

It was good to finally meet you back in November and Maybe we can meet down at Curl's place again sometime in the near future. You'll have to experience this rifle as well!

Cheers,

Jim
