About 5 years ago I'd cast some 355gr Paul Jones elliptical bullets for some experiments.   Today I decided to try shooting them breach seated out of my 38-50 Remington Hepburn 1:12 twist silhouette rifle.  I've only ever shot black powder fixed loads out of the rifle previously.  I made a really crude plugged case breech seater with a fired case and a wooden dowel.  It shot surprisingly well.  6 of 8 shots in the 25 ring or cutting it, and two just outside in the 24 ring, with no wind flags out at all.   

I wasn't sure where to start with velocity so started pretty low.  It still needs more powder ( currently at about 18.6gr IMR-4227). I wonder if that heavy bullet might want a slightly slower powder.  Anyway I thought some might find it interesting.  The bullet is a little unusual as over 60% of the length is in the nose.
