Did I ever mention that I hate to trim brass?
Many of the rifle were 36" to 48" barrel length. We were making lathe turned bullets out of brass that weighed 615 grain and we were getting 3400 FPS. Had an old automatic screw machine that was making bullets, very noisy chain drive but it would spit out a bullet about every 3 seconds. At the time Barns was the only one making a 50 cal bullet and it was a round nose. Military bullets had the core off center for the "cone of fire" from a machine gun. We were making pointed boat tail.
I would think that the bullet holding enough lube at that length would become an issue????
I like the 30/30. And long barrels. And the Sharps. Sounds like a win/win/win situation to me.
