Swaweeeeet, How does she shoot? I have had luck with the Dead Center 200 grain bullet and 80 grains of Black Horn 209 with undisclosed said breechplug that takes a 209 primer. I use Federal 209A primers.

moorepower sent me a metrics unlimited breechplug and it fits perfectly.   i'm looking forward to trying BH209 in it.  It's a shame Remington doesn't bring this gun back with this improved style of breechplug.

I managed to get my Sidekick to the range today and get off a few shots before it started pouring down rain.  These 3 were taken at 50 yards.  I had 2" of fast running water under the bench when I took these shots at 50 yards.  90 grains of BH209, Winchester primers, Metrics Unlimited breechplug, T/C 240 Grain Cheap Shots.  Recoil was very moderate, clean-up was about like cleaning a regular hunting rifle and I used Hoppes #9.
