    I've played with this to, tried 200g casts lead at 25y they keyholed / 11 twist not enough / so 150s better but hard to keep subsonic, got a bit concerned about lead fouling; so I tried 175 flat point 30-30 type projectiles and they worked well out to 50 metres. Was a ridiculous amount of trail boss about 8g or so. Tried drilling the flash holes but didn't find a huge advantage, used magnum primers and that seemed to do the trick. Loverly to use, so soft and quiet.
