Does anyone know the weight of the original "Capped Expora" bullets, in 20 and 12 bore?

I can see Holland's thinking on this 100 yard business, however feel that the longer 'shank' of the WR bullet, carrying more weight could easily give longer range.

200yards and 300 yards are not difficult for someone who actually shoots outdoors with iron sights, even if mere round balls are used. The pointy bullet with slightly higher BC will flaten trjectories and make hitting at longer ranges easier.

Most people, who practise very little, should limit shooting with open sights to 150yards or less - the answer is to get out more and learn the gun over various ranges, various shooting positions.

Gravel pits are one of the best places for this - unknown-range shooting. Their banks usually have whitish rocks that made good targets and the impacts are readily seen form the shooter's position, especially if one of the blokes out for the day has bioculars.

Laser range finders have a deginite place in a shooter's coat pocket. They are quite inexpensive today and can quickly check guessed-at ranges so that range estimation is quickly learned within the parameters of one's gun. With practise, one's confidence grows in relation to the actual 'range' of the gun.

Of course, serious load development is required to allow longer than point blank range shooting.

All of this, in my opinion, of course.
