Lane, If you don't slug yours yourself, I would suggest contacting Merkel dirrectly. When I had, they responded rather promptly. If I can find the email address I used I will send it to you.

I am going to hunt with North Fork Flat Nose Solids and probably nothing else...at least for ele anyway. And now I just inherited a bunch of Woodleigh 450 gr bullets for plinking. But I want to try and find a cast load that will regulate...so I wanted to know exactly the groove diameter. Going to try and shoot this thing a lot (if I am tough enough)...so...looking for a cheap bullet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.
