    Stupidity looks good!

    This morning I pp some boolits and this evening went to size them and they had a funny oily look to them. I figure must be something in the paper composition that created this effect so I size them and they come out looking like spandex around the boolit- kinda neat looking! So I says this hot weather really makes these patches fit tight after drying so I will do more. I lick the one patch a little and wrap boolit, stick the tail in the can of water and give it a little twist something on my fingers didn't feel right. So I take a wiff and by george if I don't have kerosene in can instead of water! Well I am gonna shoot them tomorrow and maybe start a new fad.

    shot em, and half of them really shot well and half opened the groub up to typical sks groubs. No fad because I would think the powder could soil from the kerosene in paper. I assembled the loads and discharged them with in minutes. It is too hot to shoot anyway so I will put some energy into keeping cool!

    This reminds me a little bit of a thing from a science class . Ol Joe is no more with out a label his drink of H20 was H20S4 .
    Not the same disaster but the potential for a really impressive muzzle flash was definitely there.
