    I like to put 1 grn of a FAST powder, and then Top the brass off with SLOW powder. Compress that mother fucker and then hand it to a friend to shoot.

    Hey, TS, want to shoot my gun?

    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    that black powder will really give the bullet a send off.I had a sassafrass stump I had been diging on for quite some time got tired of digging,went to my black powder accessories filled a baby food jar about 3/4s full put a hole in the top for a wick/fuse buried under the stump,blew that damp stump 50 feet in the air.did have cornagraphs available back then so I can not give a report on the velocity of said stump.
    (nam era) yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for I am the meanest SOB in the valley!

    Dude I was talking about a 7.62x54r case. I'm not going to blow up a $500 gun to make a point when I can blow up a $79 gun.

    If bullet comes out barrel and bolt stays in gun, its good.

    Dang. I should have sold my S&W 19-4 with a pregnant barrel to you. It just had one bulge in it, and that was a full inch in from the muzzle!
