    Well holy smokes, I was in the garage today, and for some reason decided to stick my bore scope down the barrel with a case in the chamber, well THAT was an eye opener!
    Even the cases I thought were long enough weren't, and most were short by a big margin.
    Sooo, I dug out a bunch of 45/70 cases I had and sized them down and trimmed them until the matched the chamber when I had the scope in there. The range session today went very well, using lubed greasers, powder coated greasers (unlubed), and the PP bullets as well.
    One paper ring in 35 alternated rounds, and it may have been because I was not cleaning at all in between shots, shooting five at a time.
    I think I will still use the greasers for hunting this year however.

    You are absolutely correct, most times one is better off not knowing - what they don't see won't bother them ! LOL
    Chronographs as well.

    If you are having to wipe to get your bore diameter PP bullets to chamber in a hunting load, you need to rethink your bullet dimensions and reloading methods. Even with the worst powders, you should be able to get off 5 shots without any blow tubing or wiping under 2 1/2 MOA. I usually try to get 10 or more shots with this accuracy.
