My avatar might give you a hint...I love mine. Owned it for decades, reloaded for it almost as long. I, too, miss the Hornady 265 gr., but the leverevolution ammo is decent. I haven't reloaded any of those cases with the "new" leverevolution bullets yet, but they're "on the list". Only shot a cow elk and a feral hog with it, though both were about 500#. I've loaded some of the Barnes XPB's in it and they are accurate, and performed adequately on the hog. Shed the petals and kept on going as a copper solid. Have shot several bullets up to 300 gr. I have some 385 gr. hard-cast gas-checked pills to try, but just haven't yet. I do hope to use it to spot and stalk western black bears.
