[QUOTE="APDDSN0864, post: 2213568, member: 58226"] Do you cast your own bullets? If so, get a Lyman mold 457121PH, which drops a 485gr bullet when using a 20:1 alloy right at .457". If it does drop at .456, not to worry,, as the Black Powder will bump it up to fill the grooves. I have an old version that drops the same alloy at .457 while my newer one drops at .456. Both are equally accurate. This is an outstanding hunting and target shooting bullet when lubed with SPG or even the traditional 50/50 beeswax/lard lube. 65.5gr Olde Eynesford compressed 1/4", CCI 200 primer, and one 0.030" vegetable card wad finishes the recipe. This load is loved by quite a few Shiloh Sharps, including mine. To see how it performs on a Zebra, go to YouTube and search for Bill Bagwell Africa. I love my Shiloh Sharps! Wishing you all the best on your hunt! Ed [/QUOTE]
