It will be interesting to see what neck ID your fire formed brass has.
Do all of the other measurements of your chamber cast jive pretty closely to the normal No.2 case?

Hello Huvius,

Thanks for the reply.

I never did measure the chamber cast. I had some "new" 577-500 No.2 cases and tested them in the chambers. They easily fit - even when loaded. So I fired them. (see below) I tried slippng some of the .511 dia bullets into the fired brass, and it was a close "slide-fit" - perfect.

I'll test some more loads with slightly more powder. So far pressures were light with easy extraction with the fingers.

Looks like you are going to be in the paper patching business.

Hello Wayne 59,

Thanks for the reply.

I hate paper patching. I use that only as a last resort. Based on my results below, I don't think I'll need to go there.

Here's the results of today's shooting. I tried 3 different loads. The gas-checked bullets were both .511" dia and the Woodleigh SP bullets were .510" dia. This rifle really likes those Woodleighs. I think all went well - do you agree?
