    I think we're all mostly on the same page here. People tend to hear "melting" and think of wax like melting. Just ain't so. Call it planishing, galling, impact sticking- it's all the same.

    As to the GC itself- I think it does work as a scraper in tight enough bores. But I also shoot an 8mm GC in a .333+ bore with zero leading. So I also think at times it functions differently.

    I was always taught to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder to find any!

    Μολὼν λαβέ; approximate Classical Greek pronunciation [molɔ̀ːn labé], Modern Greek [moˈlon laˈve]), meaning "Come and take them" is a classical expression of defiance reportedly by King Leonidas in response to the Persian army's demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons at the Battle of Thermopylae.
