Yep, have run 500gr hard cast with Trail boss powder, about 900-1000fps (if i remember correctly) from a case full of it.

The single shot on fine and beautiful lines built by a master craftsman is indeed a gentleman's piece...

PazDon't go to heavy on the barrel, mine was a Shilen 5.5 contour with a Ruger knox, ended up sending it to get fluted to cut some weight down (they don't kick you know

)
You won't be sorry with the AR mate, absolutely love mine.
So good I'm going another
