I went out today and filled 4 55 gal drums with water, banded the lids closed, set em on their ends and fired my 458 WM, 505 Gibbs, 500 Nitro Express, and 577 Nitro, recovered some beautiful bullets fired from 25 yards.

Those sombishes have tremendous hydraulic effect. grin

Nah, I've been trying to find KIK locally, without success. I'm gonna order the heavier bullets & powder tomorrow. Today I tried some changes, a lube cookie and Swiss FFg, and had some success getting the fouling to stay soft, but the accuracy was no good. In fact it was a lot worse than the Swiss FFFg.

I did get a Red River Beech front sight, and it did seem to get me on target, so that at least is better.

I think you ought take some of those water barrels, stand them up, un-band the lids, and see how high the hydraulic effect will launch them grin
