Hi Kurt:

Thanks very much for the insights its very very much appreciated !!!----for some reason snow banks are tough to find around here --------------have you any thoughts on the actual hardness of the alloys used ?----------i'm trying to zero in using brinell numbers to understand some of the results you see from your snow bank bullets----------currently i'll be testing 12 Bn stuff using a Brooks Money bullet----i'm betting i'll be just a tad bit on the hard side but its a place to begin. The stack is one rubberized gasket material wad about 0.050 thick followed by either a cork wad or the appropriate grease cookie about 0.125 thick and a milk carton wad under the PP bullet, the bullet is just a light finger push to seat essentially a "zero" clearance fit to bore.

This stack with the grease cookie has had some range success with a Creedmore bullet in 30/1 ----both bullets are right at 517 grains.

Hope to have a sillywett range report in two weeks

Thanks for any insights

Dave
