Joe, maybe you could chrony the results? I've always wondered how it affects the velocity.

I do know this, though: After I started crimping the .30-30 rounds, my groups went from a crumby 4-5" or so at 100yds to around 2-1/2".
More even presures, more consistant.

Those that don't pay income tax will, and the incentive would be to SAVE money rather than spend it, which is a good thing to promote.

Welcome to the forum, Woody.

Definately don't leave it sitting in the safe.
It WANTS to be shot, you know it.

Have you shot it yet?
If so, how bad IS it?

If it's crumby, rebore it to 38-55 and have yourself a great time.
Is it possible to go to a .357?
I hear that's a really cool round in a lever.
