Who here uses it?
Have you ever run cast or pistol bullets through it for light practise loads?

I have a hankering for something new & this round is starting to appeal to me.

I've got one and have used the Hornady HP/XTP and IMR 3031 for a light plunking load, but not lately.

400 grain gold dots in my 470 capstick. I have kept them at 2100 fps. Good practice and deer load.

I have shot most of the 475 pistol bullets in my Capstick and they all perform very well and accuracy is very good. Ross
