Thanks KY Jon. I am not familiar with SDH. could you provide contact information. I am only shooting BP loads between what is described as light to normal. Freddy Bruner did check out the Burgess and stated it was safe to shoot

Pooch it is a unique item. I have always been fascinated with different actions and have been searching for several years. A few pretty poor examples have shown up on Gun Broker, and one excellent and expensive example on a RIA auction last year.
