Larry: I believe you have a great wildcat! If Frank Barnes was still alive it might make it into his Wildcat category! Think it will make 5000 fps??? Think about this: The international space station travels over 18,000 fps !!!!!

I think it best loaded with cordite sticks.
[The Montana Gianni] Front sight and squeeze
I built one of those years ago. Couldn't make it work. I developed a horrible flinch while trying to use it due to the fact that the bullet would strike the target before I pulled the trigger. Sat in the back of the safe for a long time until a time cop from the 29th century met me in the local gun store and bought it from me to take back with him. I heard him mumbling something about hunting borg on Jupiter (or maybe it was one of the moons).
It's going to be a looooonnnggg winter............

Just checked and only have LR cases. Could use a bushing of some sort i guess.

I'm trying to recall the powder recipe for Jug Head's new cartridge. I believe it was a half-and-half mixture of firecracker powder blended with ground up kitchen match heads. He also noted that the blue match heads gave the cartridge more "zip" than the red match heads.
On an M4 I believe you may need to tweak the mag lips a bit.
Never trade luck for skill.
It may require a compressed load.....
“You should tell someone what you know. There should be a history, so that men can learn from it.
He smiled. “Men do not learn from history. Each generation believes itself brighter than the last, each believes it can survive the mistakes of the older ones. Each discovers each old thing and they throw up their hands and say ‘See! Look what I have found! Look upon what I know!’ And each believes it is something new.

You can just solder a few SR primers together to fit the pocket. You may have to use a brad hammer on them to get it perfectly round.

Safe bet that after the bullet leaves the barrel, hot gasses will continue to blow for 3 to 5 seconds.

My avatar is almost a dead ringer for my little buddy Chico. Six pounds of mean that thought he was a Pit Bull. Miss that little guy.
OH Sh*t, you guys kill me.
Thanks Larry, I needed that!
I suspect it may burn the throat out after each shot.
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.
