I really should wait and do a full evaluation on the gun. But, a small review seems in order.

First thing I did was slug the bore. I knew Gary waited on the right blank, but needed more info as this will primarily be a cast bullet gun.

Several manufacturers build blanks too big. I've slugged several at .402-.403". This one slugged .3995" and will ideal with cast or jacketed bullets.

I had some loaded ammo using a heavy load of Unique and 200 grn GT Hollow Points. The bullets are sized .402" and seated long. The chamber accepted the .402" shank of the bullet which eliminated another concern.

I fired five rounds into 3/4" at 75 yards the first try. Very satisfied with the accuracy using the Weaver K4 Scope. Velocity was near 1600 fps and not a hint of leading.

Will surely learn and post more later...
