Longknife; If you want to hunt the rifle see if you can get the 405 grain LEE HOLLOWPOINT mold. What a phenomenal bullet!

I THINK it might cast a wee bit too small in diameter, but if so, the bullets could be sized down and paper patched.

Anyway, unlike the 330 Gould and some others, the Lee HP is NOT a frangible bullet but rather, acts like a Nosler Partition at over 1400 fps with the front HP making massive damage and then blowing off, allowing the rear 300 grain shank to penetrate deeply. GREAT bullet at fast .45-70 velocities and cast soft should be perfect for the BP velocities, too I think.
