The G2 Carbine will finally become reality. Correct 10mm bore stock isn't exactly easy to come by in rifle lengths. But, Gary stuck with it until he found the correct blank.

I'm going to explore upper level loads as I've done with the 5-Shot Reeder Revolver.

Lil Gun Powder tends to work miracles in rifle length pistol cartridge guns. The 357 Magnum gains about 300 fps over H110. I won't burn it in my revolvers, but a TC is a different animal.

May open the door to a good Lever Action in 38-40 or 401 GNR.

I'll post results here and data if Gary OKs it. But, neither of us would want the posted data tried in a Colt or Replica.
