Hey!
Well, I started this thread, so a little wandering is ok, until big brother intervenes.
You've got the most right to gripe, so ... if YOU don't mind, most of us won't either.
I just wondered about the Haggis. Acquired taste? You bet - and I haven't acquired it, yet ... and I've been married to a lass I stole from Scotland for more than 20 years, now!
She doesn't care for it and didn't feel the need to make me try it!
Now my (late) Father-in-Law; HE liked it, but it never came up before he passed on. Not enough lager, I guess.
Back to your original topic: I started a thread about loadin' punkin' balls in Magtechs. Have you checked it out? I haven't done the work yet, but before I'm done, I'll have ball loads as well as 00 Buck or even 36 cal Buck loads. (Don't know what "0" corresponds to 36 [.375] C&B balls). I'm STILL pondering a
TINY roll-crimp for neatness' sake, but the annealing would be necessary if I (you) wanted to continue. And there'd still be the issue of BP not blowing out the crimp. There ARE some folks loadin' smokeyless powder and usin' shot cups, and they MIGHT blow out a crimp, but I don't know. For my money, I wouldn't bother ... Wally World sells shells (by the seashore - oops
) cheap enough that I won't bother my brass shells with smokeyless ... UNLESS I were a WWI re-enactor with a '97 Trench Gun. Which is where all-brass shells REALLY came into mass use. They
were around in the time of the old West, but not overly common, except for meat-hunters and such. Even then, the paper shells were most common and sold (often) primed, in cases of 100 - ready to load.
