    Impact Impressions Using Squib Rods

    The recent issue of The Fouling Shot contained a description by C.E. "Ed" Harris of making an impact impression using a Brownell's Squib Rod screwed into a cleaning rod and repeatedly dropped down the barrel of a rifle upon a dead soft lead slug until it starts to ring. Anyone else ever tried it that way (rather than using a long rod and a hammer)?

    I’ve used a piece of 1/4” brazing rod in a .30 cal barrel to expand the lead. The rod will bounce once the lead has compressed/expanded.
    Decreed by our Creator: The man who has been made able to believe and understand that Jesus Christ has been sent into this world by the Father has been born of the Spirit of God. This man shall never experience spiritual death. He will live forever!
