This and That!!! Cont....
Hey Smokin.. Methinks the easiest way to compress is with a hard bullet having the driver dia turned down. Ya seat, remove that undersized and seat the full dia slug. SLick and fast.
Them IT-tal--iiannn shooters get high marks on various talk shops per accuracy. The fella that hauls for them US wise states their broach cut to exacting standards. Makes me think it'd be hard to match those specs.. a good barrel is a good barrel no matter the driller. But I would grant ya some of those off brands are just that-- way off the mark.
Methinks the BPCR game is like the cast bullet game-- full of old wives' tales handed down by them that really don't have the overall grip. And those olden 'roooles' keep many new in the dark. 'Pears to me the drop tube can be thrown away, along with soft lead alloy, bees wax in the lube, and some of those flimsy 'wads' cut to 'protect' the bullet base. IF I could tell the beginner one thing it'd be 'use a wad that seals combustion gases'. Some use plastic-- I use thick tablet or solid cardboard cut OVERSIZED, making a tight fit into that case. No gas goes up that bullet side that ways-- no gas cutting, no leading-- your starting right in square one that ways. THen the lube-- it has to flow in your temp range. That hard stuff which makes loading so easy and the bullets look neat ain't gonna make the trip IF it don't slump back and work at bullet accelleration. I hear these guys talk about cutting their barrels back cause of dry 'last couple inches'. I gringe, ain't no way... Find an optimum burn rate for that fuel and use another LUBE.....
End of rant. Thanks for puttin' up with it all. Rebuttals/friendly squabbles invited.
