    You missed a couple of steps

    Sorry but that is the wrong size wheelweight for that caliber.

    Harpman, you win the prize for being the sharpest among us. It was bound to occur to somebody sooner or later. That looks to be about a 1 oz. weight (437.5 gr.) Hope you backed off on the powder charge!

    Personally, I think he needs to flare the case mouth just a tad. I think shaving boolits shows ingnorance of the art.

    The steel clip will help orient the boolit so you can chamber it exactly the same shot to shot.
    I think this one was so good that it should stay number one on the forum forever!
    I laughed so hard that we never want to lose this one, GREAT JOB!

    nope its like plug chaw.
    just push some inside, take yer whitlin knife and cut it off. the case will form the boolet(as in pressed, vs cast boolit)....
    no need fer them silly sizing dies, wipe a little chaw on it fer lube.....
    only accurate rifles are interesting

    Smile

    I sure am glad no one told him to fill the case with powder up to the neck and then get the torch out to melt a sized wadcutter right on top of the powder. Glad I'm the only weird one of the bunch. Gianni.
