I got this link in an e-mail. There was mention of 'Cast Boolits" so I thought I would pass it along. BIG Boolits!

I sure hope they all came home alive with all the muzzle sweeps going on out there.

I've been a range officer at local, national, and international level for a lot of years, and am a true prick when it comes to gun safety. There was nothing on the video that was unsafe. Watch it again closely, the muzzle never came close to crossing anyone.

I agree....it looks like we were swept by the muzzle but that is not the case at all. I was there never saw the muzzle in an unsafe place. Its just the camera angle.

Its a fun rifle to shoot. We shot it a bunch over Thanksgiving weekend, blowing through steel plates and shooting it over the chronograph. With top end loads you can put down some serious foot pounds of energy, with light loads you can take the brake off and shoot it most of the day.

I was wondering how big the impact crater is?! Steel is so-so, I want to see sandstone flying.

if you look i'd bet the bolt was out of the rifle every time it was even being walked back towards the group.
the rifle has to have the bolt out to be loadedas you lock the case onto the extactor then chamber the whole thing.
it's slightly faster than a muzzle loader to re-load the chamber.
