I just picked up 200 pieces of 401sl brass and some Hawk 250g jacketed bullets from Buffalo Arms.
For the last couple of years I have been using 210g cast and 200g jacketed over 27g of 4227. According to published loads, I am getting around 1900fps. More importantly, this load cycles reliably.
Finding published 250 jacketed loads for the 401SL has been harder. If you have loading data for 250g jacketed, I would love to hear it.
Below is the 1910. I rescued it from an online auction. The stock was rotten and the receiver was badly rusted. Shooting it is a real hoot. It makes a distinctive "BLAM" sound when fired. Accuracy at 50 yards is minute of pie plate, but I am still cleaning out 100 years of barrel leading.
Also, it came with an old Tang site, but it is not a Lyman or a Marble. The eyepiece is not original. Can anyone identify it?
