Actually,I was hitting between 2325 and 2350?!..the loads were done by Tim Sundles of Buffalo Bore years back.He since sold his personal 50/110 lever to a friend with all the remaining ammo as there was not much of a demand for it(Both rifle and ammo are for sale now)...It was a mean load,sometime the lever would open a tad upon recoil and firing.I cronied them myself.Shot a lil piggy with one fast 525 cast and he was messed up!

The only problem with David Clay is that he is at a 30 month waiting time to get you that custom rifle.His guns are works of art, but you need a lot of patience.

Or longer He had two of my rifles for over 4 years. One of which required a complete redo once I got it. Dave can do good work but he tends to rush at times too. Be careful.
