Just wanted to say Thank You!

I head out Wed. for a Buff hunt in the Save with Gary Duckworth. I have had this hunt booked for two years, and have always had an interest in double rifles,but I did not own one.

I had been looking around and doing all the mental gymnastics and reading all the info here when last year when BigBBear invited me to the Michigan DRSS. Great group of guys Bal, 450 Nitro, Chris, Doc Tim. This was a big help getting to shoot the different rifles.
Well by Oct of last fall I had purchased a Heym 88 Safari. I have since that time loaded and shot over 300 round through this 450 3 1/4". Lots of fun working up loads and shooting.

I am going with handloads of Hornady softs and srose's BBW #13 solids.

Many folks here who post have been very very helpful to me.

Many Thanks
HBH
