.323's work just fine. My .32 is a Remington m/14 in that caliber. Used the .321's and 3's and could tell no diff. Ordered Arsenal's .321 170, gc, shoots great either gas checked or paper...

Darn FEW chestnuts of american origin left..........thanks to an imported asiatic infection that in effect wiped out that species in the first half of the 20th century. Kind of a super covid...
Another approach is to emboss a ring at the juncture of the case neck and ctg body..........similar to a cannalure...........you can then load as you determine. Multiple balls make a good small...

Had the very same prob. with BB...........d0 as .243 w/ the soap routine, super hot followup and immediate lube prior to storage......I've also discovered that I prefer Ballistol to CLP.

I can attest that the things were present in large numbers here in E/central Fla. in the late 50's. Had a walker foxhound mix back then that delighted in making them look like...

I did so with excellent results. Used Brownell's formulation on a 1918 1911 that had seen better days. Stripping the nickle was simple and easy.......total time involved less that a couple of...

The French stuff that I had personal experience with was headstamped "VE". U.S. Lake City stuff is good to go and is not Berdan primed. In fact I have quite a few of that LC so dated that I've...

If I was doing so I'd most strongly consider bubble wrapping that optic and inserting it in a stout pvc pipe...then package that and try it...............leastways you'd make 'em work to bust it!
