Picture looks good to me - every time. No appology required.
; As to the RB's and bullets, pure and WW metal, I bow to your experience, Steve. I've not tired the REAL's in WW due to difficulty loading in my rifle. It engraved every band and I know from my experience with a .50 cal. fast twist barrel I had, such engraving bullets required pure lead to load easily enough and slug up to fill the grooves for accuracy.
; As you, I also found slugs did not go in the requisite course through moose, when fired from 48" twists. They diverted and changed direction, often 45 to 90 degree course changes.
: The only WW balls I've shot into moose were almost 14 bore sized at .684" loaded in paper ctgs. Every moose staggered when hit by this rifle, some sidestepping at impact. It's really something to see, that's for sure. Only my .458 staggered them but not as vividly as the .69 (14 bore) rifle did,
; We've since found that paper ctgs. work down to .54 calibre, so .58 is a probability for use with larger .570"WW balls. With cloth patches, they must be much smaller.
; If anyone wants further help on paper cts., just e-mail me so I can show you pictures of them.
