I thought so too with all the Black Magic that Surrounds this Cartridge. On the 1st effort, I wore safety glasses, ear plugs, gloves, FRC Clothing; if I had a Knight's Suit of Armour, I would have donned that. But there's no binding of the action; it is not any more difficult to open after firing....


Ford:

I had thought the same thing on the powder & try to keep the cartridge as vertical as possible until ignition. I'll give it a whirl again tomorrow w/ 44 grains of VV N 160. But I have hit the Evaporated Milk Can every time but one and I had a little to much tension on the set trigger w/ my finger.


Hochachtungsvoll,
