Seriously, my point is: Why? With a (pure lead) round ball and moderate load that rifle will kill anything that walks on this continent, up to possibly a big grizzly bear.
No doubt I'm sure it will. But with only a 21" barrel I want to try some boolits to see if it will do any better at distance. This rifle is a treat to carry up a tree with me. Not to mention its light as heck. And it WILL beat up on ya pretty good with stout loads. Its 1:48 twist. Cabelas's stopped selling this rifle some time back now all their carbines come in .50 or .54 and have 1:24 twist barrels. I'll try out the bullets if it doesn't do any better she will be a ball slinger.
