Here's an extreme example of what can happen when 'any old body' is allowed to design their own mould, cast their own bullets, and load for their own rifle...


Seen recently at a local auction house, high quality 20b Brit sporting rifle, raped.


I'll start with the bullet.


That's grams. Do the math..!

Now, this is a piece of brass found with the rifle.


That base was spool-shaped. Hourglass-shaped. Stretched. The belly bulged.

Nice rifle too, snap-action Lever-Under-Guard rotary.
Here's the action flat detail...



The only portion of the barrel-set to have seen recent polish was the flats, I wonder if they were trying to hide something..?




Grossly over-weight bullet, no effective grease groove to speak of, over size, and too hard...






Cheers
Tinker
