Hey Gander, the Great Plains bullets are one of my favorites. I would be a very happy man if they shoot well in the new barrel. (Powerbelts are waaay down on my list of things to try.)

Cayugad, I already have two packs of crush ribs and two packs of regular Harvester sabots on the way from Midsouth. I'm anxious to see if the 210 grain .410 Gold Dots I use in my .41 Mag Blackhawk will fit the barrel. If they fit OK and shoot well, that will be my "go to" bullet for deer.

Interesting idea JM. I have a ton of .45 ACP cast bullets, both round nose and semi-wadcutter. Problem is, they are all pretty hard. Worth a try though.

Man, I did NOT need any more homework.
