Re: Charles Lancaster oval bore rifles

Thank you for the annealing instructions. I'll be putting those to use.

I did use grits in the cases. Perhaps too much? I put the grits in up to w/in 1/4" of the top, then sealed the top by pressing the case thru a thin (1/8" thick) sheet of beeswax/crisco that I usually use as lube with black powder.

After rechecking the 10 cases I fired yesterday with Unique and grits, I found 2 of the 10 that did expand properly.

I'll anneal and bump the charge up from 10.4 to 11.5gr of Unique.

Thanks again,
Chris
