IIRC, he said that he'd made the head of the case stronger � how, I don't know.

Those cases are probably "right on" in exterior dimensions and vary all over the place in interior dimensions.

In all my computer simulations, I've used an onager estimation of gross capacity.

I'd like to see what that cartridge can do with selected cases carefully formed and trimmed from good .25-06 brass.


"Good enough" isn't.

Always take your responsibilities seriously but never yourself.
