By its serial number its a 1901.� �Decent bore and the metal work was done by somebody who new what they were doing.� Lyman peep.� If it shoots as well as it looks I will be a happy guy.� �I still have to load up some rounds for it.� Anyone have a bullet mold they like for cast?�

I like the Lee 200 grain gas-check.� Slug your barrel to determine exactly what the bore is and order your mold .001" larger.� I cast mine from wheelweights quenched in water.� Pushed down the barrel by 16 grains of Aliant 2400 is a very accurate and mild load in my '98.
