Yes Ace
I have one with and extra .500 S&W bl. , and and extra stock set for scope use.
I won't tell you how it shoots with 38-55 bl.
That would make me sound like a liar.
I'm using a Lyman mold 275 grn -FP -GC , 20 t0 1 alloy. sized .377
I use 2 grns under max of 5744 , then a 1/8" vegetable wad ,fill the rest of the case with Cream of Wheat , compress about 1/4 " , and crimp all in place.
I don't use a GC with that load.
Another load I use with 38-55 bl. , is a compressed load of IMR 4831 or 4350. and I do use GC with it.
The only problem I've had wit it is, if I vary far , above or below standard velocity I don't have enough sight adjustment.
Mine has a pretty nice peice of wood , for an H&R.
I'm going to try black powder in it next.
Also plan to try BP with 500 S&W bl.
I have a Lee 440 WFN-GC mold for the .500.
It's a monster with case full of IMR 4227.
Hope you enjoy it
