Thanks for posting the .30-405 cartridge and bullet. That cartridge looks like it has more than adequate capacity for .30 caliber. Nice target by the way.
Do you know if that barrel has the typical Pope rifling like this Schuetzen rifles or is it a more conventional rifling type?

There are indeed two Americas. Simply put, it is not the haves and have nots. The two Americans are in reality divided into those who do and those who don't.

The rifling is straight, conventional, right hand twist.

My friend also owns a Highwall musket that was barreled by Pope in .34-40 Krag.  It's also straight (not gain twist) but has Pope rifling.
