[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 2811080, member: 15643"] Invest in a good drop tube for your powder, your powder column and accuracy will improve greatly as a result. Slugging your barrel for a good bullet size, a good bullet sizer and use only SPG bullet lube. I never found any difference in powder brands as far as accuracy, but Swiss residue stays softer longer. Make yourself a good cartridge blow tube if you plan on shooting a lot per string, this will keep your residue soft in the barrel. Windex is your friend when cleaning. If you're planning on shooting long range, and molding your own bullets, look no further than this 480gr Lyman.

I don't have much experience with .40-65, but I'm getting ready to :) [/QUOTE]
