    Well, Ray, only if the boolit is rifled in the opposite direction of the rifling barrel.

    Thanks for posting that picture.

    Now I know what Girty got stuck in her foot while we were cooking our breakfast by Bad Water creek in death Valley.

    Dug the A A loaded cartridge loose and tossed it into the camp fire.

    That sucker was so powerful it blew my gallon coffee pot 100 yards away but thankfully did not spill a drop of brew.

    Talk about lucky.

    That is a wildcat made from the .38-45 Polish Short Magnum. There are chambering issues with the configuration.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    It was rumored that Doctor Asperly what working on a clamshell action that could easily chamber this configuration but adding the automatic C Clamp proved cumbersome
    Word was that during testing a prototype exploded in the face a young good looking apprentice named Danny Trejo

    I'm surprised none of you are familiar with the Asperly Patented Reverse Bottle-neck Chamber. It allowed the shooter to load fixed cartridge ammunition from the muzzle.

    That was for the adaption of the fellow that patented the piston ring compressor. After chambering you tightened up the chamber with a series of bands then shot it.

    .............I suppose a few might be interested (or not) but I finally got rid of the Asperly Aimless Target rifle, and all the accouterments, flotsam and jetsam I'd accumulated over the intervening years. I sent it to Dr. Fauci with the hope in my heart that at some point in time, not too far from now that the only remembrance might be the smoking crater left in the ground. The only regret I have is that I didn't do it a couple years previously.

    Well, Buckshot, I was wondering what happened to Dr. Fauci. I'm thinking he's busy trying to wring more accuracy out of the AA than has been found in his pronouncements.

    Are any of these fine firearms preserved for future generations in museums behind glass so that we might stand in awe of our forefather's innovations? Is awe the right word?

    Dr. Asperly was a humble man who preferred not to showcase his creations, a trait which was prevalent among his customers.
    An elderly gentleman claimed to own one but was rather secretive about it. Gesturing towards the outhouse he assured me, "That's the best place to store that rifle." Away from the prying eyes of the general public, who most certainly would not understand, I assume. You have to own one to appreciate it.

    Tell me it isn't so!!!

    The deceiver of millions now has possession of one of the world's greatest "treasures"? The truths of which are revealed on these hallowed pages? What kind of deceptions will he foist on the unlearned of the world? What foul deeds may ensue? May the gods of the AA protect us.

    Oh, the humanity!
