I charged a bunch of 8.15X46R cases, capped them off with a wax wad, and powder coated some bullets in preparation for my next outing with the "Anal Haenel":Fire:

Well, I trashed the paper patch idea with the .358's , the accuracy just wasn't consistent enough. I went back to the powder coated 293 grain 9.3's and changed up the load process. Things are good...

I shoot a 3 1 /4" three shot group today with it, using 35 grains of IMR 4064.

bullets right around 1,740 FPS according to my labradar, so it was a very successful load...

Well, lucky me!
A friend of mine just bought 2 1/2 boxes of 9.3X72R RWS ammo at a gun show!
He picked it up for a fraction of what the brass itself would cost me to get it across the border!
