    Big Gators

    I was sizing some 311041 bullets that had been cast of linotype. The gas check shank was cut for Lyman checks, and my Hornady checks just refused to go on. In a moment of inspiration, I got out the new order of Gator checks. The .30 caliber ones were just enough bigger that I could use them.

    I had a similar experience. I just set the bullet down on the gas check and give it a good tap on the nose with a horse shoe hammer. Check went on, sized and shot fine.

    Ahem you want a big toothy, go google "Gustave".

    Biggest Crocodile on the planet - over 6m, quite possibly the biggest ever recorded. He's been known to eat and kill adult hippo's.

    There's actually a major motion picture coming out that involves him in the story line called Primeval
