[QUOTE="Van A Short, post: 5128805, member: 21778"] Glad your still able to get out there..I'll be 77 on the 24th. Able tp get to the range on occasion and If I could hunt it would be after squirrel.. Can you explain spring squirrel season to me.....I have only hunted one location where the population was high enought that I thought they could stand the pressure. Doesn't the spring hunt interfere with population increase. I spent a lot of time on the computer educating my self about BPCR, mainly the 45/70 at firsr. One is on order from Shiloh Sharps for my nephew. I needed something with less recoil due to medical concerns and would have liked to have a 38/55 as it is fine for silhouette shooting and low recoil. It seems to me that each of these BPCR cartridges have their own idiosyncrasies and challenges. Information on the Shiloh Sharps chamber design was available. There is no SAAMI Spec for the 40/65, and even Shiloh has changed there design over the years. I didn't get that deep into the 38/55 but know exactly what you ae getting and have an idea of what brass, bullets, dies, neck expanders etc. are available. I was not going to cast bullets but to get what I want for the 40/65 it looks like I will have to. I believe there is a club which has BPCR matches somewhere NE of Nashville. [/QUOTE]
