NE450No2,

Does this occurrence make you suspect or doubt R-15 at all?

I was just getting ready to try R-15 in my Woodward .450/.400 3.25" and now wonder what to think about the idea.

Certainly you are correct that at the standard conversion formula of 1.19 R-15 : 1.00 Cord you were well within parameters, and the foam should top it off fine.

How in the world can George Caswell eat this problem, or is it going back to a consignor? That's incredible given what he was asking for that rifle.

I don't have the luxury of a "George" to pick up the pieces of mine if it blows, though.

So back to the question, could R-15 have mysterious behavior traits like 3031?

Thanks for the info. Thinking of your day at the range makes me shiver. We are all with you and CFA in spirit.
