    That would be most unusual but since I wasn't there I'll take your word for it.

    I would tend to suspect a bad crown or inconsistent bore diameter in that order.

    Kinda like many things in life. Quickest way to get yourself in trouble. Apart from being a general pain in the rear, that is.

    Shoot it 10x on 3 different days. See what you think then.

    I'd guess a weight for an olde skool fire door in an industry building of some type.

    Typically hung with a cotton rope. Rope burned through, door slammed shut.

    I look around and buy used unless it's upholstery or bedding. Hard surface objects can be easily cleaned. The stuff with fabric and stuffing though..... Nah. Not interested.

    Nothing at all wrong with those methods. I do it the same way without any problems using a double spider and a floating reamer holder I built for myself.

    There's a thread on this forum in the archives about a 'Billy Bob hardness tester'. I just go by that. I don't need perfection, an educated guess is plenty close enough for me.

    When the time comes, I plan to go with a heavy bullet (> 400 grain), hollow point in soft lead (< 10 BHN) and black powder velocity.

    If I can hit it, the target animal will have a VERY bad day.
