    Longer boolit: "Short" (fast) twist.
    Short Boolit: "Long" (slow) twist.
    Velocity is determined more by weight than anything else, but since you can't change the twist rate you can load up or down...

    I almost never crimp but the velocity and pressure deviations in the chart would give a lot of people something to think about.

    I haven't tried the breechblock bushings but my experience with the others has been the opposite; I love the knurled rings with set screws, can't stand the O-ring style.

    This thread will be old enough to buy itself a drink in a few years. Maybe whoever inspects primers at CCI won't be there much longer.

    I don't know what the OP needs but there was a thread recently where this came up: A boolit cast from 1:20 may slump a bit when fired. If it's good long-range design, it just might not shoot well in...

    I'll second that. Didn't care much for the Cool Mist fluid but the unit itself works just fine with the right mix.

    My mailbox is mounted on a telephone pole. But I also live on a pretty quiet street, so it'll probably never be an issue.

    Do you have a specific need for this or are you just curious? A clean surface is nice if you want it but for what we do, it doesn't need it to be that clean.

    For my turkey fryer, I made a windscreen out of stove pipe to shield the burner itself. Without it, even a mild breeze would carry off a lot of heat.
