kal long range bullet

[Don McDowell]

Bruce I honestly think the "tight" paper patch chambers are a myth. The original Sharps 45 2.1 chambers would accept a government round ( bullet diameter specified at .458) just as easy as a patched bullet. Remington said to not try and reload cartridges to often as they would swell and become unusable with no way to make them smaller so they would chamber. Sharps also cautioned the same thing, and cartridges not fitting back in the chamber is what inspired Freund to come up with his "improvement" after he tried to force a reloaded cartridge into the chamber and got shrapnel in his forehead as a reward..You've read Perry's book and know what he had to say about reloading brass.
