In stead of reinventing the wheel, I think I'll stick with the round nose projectile, in the Take
Down. The PPU Factory loads, after pulling the bullets and reseating to 3.06" feed as smooth as silk without the dent at the shoulder. Interesting that the difference between 2.960 and 3.060" has such a dramatic effect in one rifle and makes no difference in the other. I guess the manufacturing tolerances of 100 years ago are the explanation. They are fine rifles and their reputation for slick operation is well founded.
