    CerroSafe chamber cast article updated with new data

    Hey Guys,

    After running some chamber cast experiments to determine the actual expansion characteristics of CerroSafe, I updated the section on CerroSafe Chamber Casts in the article on my web site titled CASE LENGTHS, CHAMBER CASTS & IMPACT IMPRESSIONS. The bottom line is the expansions factors published by several suppliers are incorrect, as is the method to use the data. To read more click on the following link http://www.texas-mac.com/Case_Length...mpression.html

    texas...thanks for that insightfull info. it helps a bunch and your description is very follow-able. i need to do several impact impressions and even tho i have had knowledgable folks explain this to me in some detail...your description is easy for this dislexic ol turkey to follow. thanks again.

    also i finally worked up the need to disassemble my winchester 1885 and the book i purchased from you helped imensly...with no special tools i must also confess. thanks for all your work.

    Great write up...I need to slug the barrel on an 1858 that I just converted to .45lc cartridge...so this will come in very handy.
