My thought was an intentional "mistake" by a line worker, hoping that he could buy the 'defective' rifle for a song instead of the factory having to rework it. And then his plan didn't work out for...

I don't believe much of what I read on this site anyways, so go for it. :-)

My first decade growing up in Bush AK, we always had a few C rations kicking around the camp gear. I thought they were pretty good as a kid - of course, even boxed mac & cheese is good at that age...

I have read that smokeless powder contains a small amount of moisture, by design;
While I use dessicant packs in my primer cans, I do not for my ammo cans for this reason.

I can't speak for the TSS, but my very first shot with Hevi-Shot killed 5 mallards stone dead.

The most accurate 44Mag load I have ever shot is the Hornady LE 225gr FTX factory load; this does honest 1" 5-shot groups at 100 yds from my Ruger 77/44 (1:20" twist rate).

My 336-44 has always functioned perfectly, and is the most accurate lever action I have ever worked with. My buddy sold his for $1500 a year or two ago, FWIW.
