Wow, thanks for all the positive responses guys. I just love this cartridge! NitroX, we'll definitely do something when you come up here in July/August. A trip to the range is a given, burning nitro by the bucket-full is always enjoyable!

Regarding maximum loads in the Greener, I am fairly conservative when it comes to wrapping my left hand around several tons of hot gas a few inches in front of my face! I believe the previous owner of this rifle was a bit more 'cavalier', I intend to winkle his highest loads out of him over a shiraz next time he visits from the UK.

I have never tried the heavier bullet in this gun. It always amuses me that the 750gr bullet is widely acclaimed for its penetration, whereas the 650gr bullet is roundly condemned for poor penetration when it is only 13.3% lighter!! Admittedly, the early 650-grainers were usually very soft for use in older BP guns, but the current range of Woodleighs includes both BP and Nitro 650s, as well as a superb steel-jacketed solid. The solid is a definite no-no in old BP guns of course, it would probably smooth out all the rifling with the first shot in those old barrels!

Mickey, you can download the Point-Blank ballistic software for free and check any load you like!

Meanwhile, your wish is my command!
