that rifle looks like a good candidate for testing the new super duper powder, along with some chrono results. Ray

Yes! and it is all ready to go... I am hoping the powder shows up tomorrow - if it does I really do want to go burn some...

When it gets here I see what size they are... but if I do make some, I will probabaly send the mould to Bull Shop Dan in Alaska and have him make them....

You would think it would be a hefty lead conical for a 52 cal...

I think the Parker 52s are 530gr?

The guy on the auction site has about 4 52cal conical weights upto a 490gr i think. Im guessing between 450gr and 550gr should do pretty good. I wish Dan offered a Parker clone. It looks really effective.

Very nice. Did you mount the RMEF medallion in the stock?

My wife go nuts when I lean my rifles against the couch, was yours home at the time you shot the photo? LOL

Knight use to donate a lot of rifles to RMEF for money raising and the rifles that they donated all came with the medallion in the stock.
