    Elephants ??

    Maybe not, still to light for them. Today for the first time I was able to regulate my 450 BPE rifle with a Nitro for Black load. Graeme Wright's book "Shooting the British Double Rifles" and some Woodleigh bullets made for 450 BPE rifles sent me down the correct road. I was able to get 1" group at 50 yds right at point of aim. This rifle has been in the family for 70 yrs and finally it is useable.

    The load 65 gr AR2208 5 x cork overpowder wads cut from a floor tile 350 gr Woodleigh set alight with Fed 215 primer = avg 1888 FPS

    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.
