I fire the Buffalo Bore 180's out of my Delta with no problems.

This is a bit of an old thread but I thought I would share a pic of a fully supported ramped Wilson barrel.

Is the Wilson barrel for a Delta Elite? (will it fit)

I am not recommending anyone exceed any published reloading info but I was testing various loads in my 1990 delta elite gold cup after having kings gun works do considerable mods to the gun brand new.

Worked up 1,000 new starline brass with various loads of unique.  Started at 6 grains then 7.5 then 9.0 which is probably around the buffalo bore loading.

Flattens the head stamps a bit.  No bulges. 

Maybe the brass itself is a factor in the smilies?

Cannot imagine anything the smith did changing this but I have limited knowledge.

did not install the barsto barrel I considered.

Gun is amazingly accurate,  different barrel  bushing.  At the range I shot at the 100 yard side which had a 12"x12" hanging plate which I hit seven shots in a row with some lead wad cutters I had made up.

Geez.  Close enough for me. 

Sorry to digress.  But I recovered 832 empties out of the 1,000 fired and no smilies

Hell I am impressed you were able to pick up 83% of your 10 mm brass !!
