cayugad your right you did it, thanks also to Underclocked for the info. I live in Utah and after reading all the posts about the m97s I called the Spotrsmans Warehouse in Provo and all they had was one left in the laminate and I wanted one in synthetic. So on Underclockeds advice I called the Aurora store and they are sending 3 synthetics and two laminates to our store here in Midvale. I was told they should be here by wednesday when I will go and put one on layaway. My question is how good do they shoot the conicals made by hornandy the great plains and the maxi balls? Also where do I get the wads you guys use between the powder and bullet? Oh they told me that the gun does not come with a hard case. I thought I read some place that they did.

Congrats on your new purchase. Since everyone else seems tobe purchasing orown a White these days, I'm tired of walking around here naked. SoI'm going to break down & get one... I think! I'm leaning towardsthe 45-cal thou in Super 91 model.

I'm scared to call Doc Whiteon the phone.Thepioneer of this rifle namemay have a heart attack when he finds out who's on the other side of the phone call. I have notstated all positive opinions on White rifles in years past. May bewiserIcall Bob Bowersor Tom Lodgeinstead.

I got my wads from Track of the Wolf. They are the fiber 1/16th .510 wad. They come in a 1000 for $12.00 (I think it was).

I have not shot the Hornady Great Plains out of the White because if you shoot the 460 grain No Excuses you will wonder why you have so many other rifles. Also The Bullshop.. a wonderful bullet caster in Alaska is making custom conicals for White rifles in both the .504 and the .451 caliber. They come in an assorment of sizes. So far some of the accuracy results posted with them is real impressive to say the least. As are his prices.

Mine came with a hard case. Why you're rifle purchasewould not, I would look into further. Also make sure they have the musket breech plug in that set. The rifle comes with three ignitions. I had to get a hold of Sportsmans Guide after the shipment and have them send me the musket breech plug. You might also want to get a hold of Tom Lodge and see about getting a #11 hammer. The rifle will shoot #11 caps with the 209 hammer but the #11 caps get stuck once in a while and it is a pain in the you know where.

This will be exciting. Triple Se7en with a monster conical thrower.. Should make for some real interesting range results..

Dave, I've been trying some of their (CircleFly at TOTW) 1/8" nitro card wads of the same .510 diameter. They seem to work great! Bigger and cheaper - go figure.

T7, a Super91 in .451 is going to be a bit of a rarity now. http://www.gunsamerica.com/guns/976711870.htm Doc White likely has no idea who you are or whatcomments you might have made.

bdeather, the Ultra Mags should come in a plastic hard case. Aside from the rifle itself, there should be 3 breechplugs (209 installed, musket & 11 packaged), two bolts (primer bolt installed, cap bolt in a green webbed sleeve), primer extraction tool, breechplug tool, 20 bullets, and owner's manual. If you have a choice of several, make sure the one you pick has all these items and also check the front sight insert is intact and secure.
