A comment in another thread prompted me to ask about this.
here is the commment "Brass appears to be notched for indexing the case in the same postition with each firing. A fellow I used to know did this with his BPCR for shooting silhouettes. He would also breech seat his projectiles into the bore, then chamber his charged case. "
This reminded me of the 1st No.1 I bought, 20 some years ago. A more experienced loader (of smokeless and holy black) said, and I've never forgotten this, " No. 1. Great rifle. Just drop a bullet in the tube and shove a case full of powder up behind it."
Since I don't, yet, load BPC, How common a practice is this? Have you or who do you know that does it? Do you have to have long leade to be able to do it?
