Here is a pic of the triple-neck terror, a cartridge that I have never shot but always wanted to build from when I first saw it in the May-June 1966 (no.1) issue of handloader ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/catnthehat/2240tripleneckterror.jpg) Cat

Looks like a telescoping fishing rod. Thanks for sharing, I guess.

Well, the B29 pales when compared to the hi-tech designed neck of this baby! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

"there's nothing new under the sun!" Cat, I think you've topped them all with that article. The B-29 pales in comparison. If only the good doctor had been released from veterinary care, sporting firearms as we know them would be considered ancient relics of the dark ages of performance. I wonder if that doctor was related to Dr. Seuss? (same first name and all) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Sycamore

Where does it headspace?? Grin
Does it need to be used in a rifle that has 6+ locking lugs for safety's sake? I'll have to look through the junk boxes, there might be a 788 clip for that rifle in there somewhere.

Think I'll just stick with my .44-.357 Magnum and .600-06 Springfield � if I can ever figger-out how to get the prototypes out of the forming dies.

This looks like something that George Leonard Herter might have designed and promoted. Wait! He did! At least something similar....On the cover of "Cartridges of the World", Vol.2, is an illustration of a belted, "double venturi" 270 Mag. attributed to Herter.

.0078 offhand group at 750 yds.!!!! And ten shots too. I wish I could write like that. But even my trusting wife wouldn't believe me on that one because she's seen me shoot offhand, sometimes missing five large rams in a row at a mere 200 meters.

Douglas M. Graves was a nom de plume of the estimable Dean Grennell. He had more fun inside of his head than the average gunwriter.

BullShooter,
That explains it very well. Thanks. I'm still laughing.

Would having a double chin improve the winddrift while shooting the triple neck? Is there a belted version?

Is there a belted version? The version with suspenders is more interesting.

Can't lay my hand on it at the moment, but I believe the triple-neck terror appeared in the first edition of Grennell's "ABC's of Reloading".
That book is a gem of reloading literature, and treasure-trove of Grennellian prose. What a wordsmith he was.

You'd never believe the system that I designed to chamber such cartridges from the breech.
(I don't dare show it to Remington.) Designing can sho' be fun sometimes!
