got the same list from him but over a year ago, so not sure if it is current. Sent him an email to see if they are still available.

What kind of issues? I just received an invoice from him on the parts I requested via paypal.

Update on the parts I ordered from Steve. Ordered pretty much all things that could get lost or wear out (breechplug, spring, endcap, hammer, etc). Placed the order through paypal on 7/1. Received my entire order today.
Not too shabby.

Update on my White in pursuit of an elk load. Decided to jump up my amount of powder and try and get some extra ummph if the accuracy was still there. It was!
Shot 90 gr of 3fg 777, a fiber wad, and the 460 gr bullshop NEx bullet. Got 1 inch groups at 50 yards (basically all touching) and a 3 inch group at 100. I can personally do no better with open sights, so I will probably use 90 gr of powder this September. That of course depends on how my neck feels tomorrow. Shot about 20 times off a bench and off sticks, so should be a good test of how my neck handles it. Feels OK so far.

I have shot as much as 110 grains of 2f 777 and a BS 460. That was just too much recoil for me. But the accuracy was exceptionally good. Other then me. I found myself anticipating the shot and then the accuracy fell off.
That 90 grains should drop an elk with ease. Good luck in your hunt.
