Great post, Jeff. You'e made me want to hurry up and get the .32/20 project off the backburner. I have the action and original stock; current .310" barrel is rusted beyond saving.
It is a pity...

Blammer, thank you for a very interesting story. It may not have the finesse that some writers can put into them but it was better than they are.

Dangerranger; sorry, the hole is too prefect for that idea.

My thoughts on what happened is exactly that; a cast boolit broke into two pieces in flight and both hit the target.
The mold is a single cavity mold. From what I recall of the last casting...
