“Accidental Discharges” DO NOT OCCUR !!

An "Unintended Discharge" is nothing more than the lack of appropriate safety procedures or the failure to follow them..!

I love my country, but fear my government.

About to go out and test a few loads for accuracy.
First is 350gn hrbc blackhawkes over 44gn 2206h.
Second is 3x.457 rb over 25gn 2205.
Last is some 570gn cbe gas checked over 40gn of 2206h. Last time I tried these was in my Marlin sans gas check and they tumbled a bit. Hopefully this time they work.

Well. 3 ball loads were awesome and I can definitely see them being very useful.
570s are only just being stabilised I reckon. Pity coz I reckon they woujd smash s**t.
The hrbc rounds seem like they'd have potential. Really need more shooting lol. But my shoulder is a bit sore now
