	RandyW, it's a bit less stout when breech seated, since there's more air space in the cartridge. As a fixed load it would concern me too.

	I was going to chime in here belatedly with another Bud Welch gun's results, but with the direction this thread has gone, I don't know how useful it will be to you. Several years ago I bought a Welch-built schuetzen package for the scope on it... at the time I'd never heard of Bud Welch. It was based on a Ruger #1 action with a Douglas Premium barrel, and came with a 195 gr bullet mould cut by Mr Welch. The PO had been shooting fixed ammo comprised of that bullet (lube unknown) over something like 16.4 gr (IIRC) of 4227 in Remington brass. and that load was deadly accurate at 100 yds. I used them all up before I realized just how good they were, but since I got the mould and dies with the deal, I could more-or-less duplicate that ammo. I'm not sure I would load an original Ballard action (even a forged Pacific action) quite that hot, but that's what I experienced in my one Welch-built 32-40. Froggie
