Dear Nitro 400, It would be most helpful if you would post the maker and vintage of the dg that you have personally shot monos and other inappropriate bulets through and ruined. It would be even better to know which mono bullets. Also, what damage was seen on the rifle immediately after the "event". This infomation would help the rest of us without your personal extensive testing know which gun/bullet combinations to avoid purchasing. This would be very, very valuable data. Regards.

Dear A1:

Your contention seems to be that I have not already done so. It is considered polite for newcomers to a site to review previous posts to avoid needlessly rehashing old ground, or worse, making a statement such as yours. If you had, you'd have known that I've already done so. If fact, we covered some of it in your own string "Re: chrono of factory loads", and it's been a common subject here for years.

I'm far more familiar with the OSR problem, and was introduced to it far earlier, than I would ever have liked to be. I've seen a lot of doubles with it. And yes, I've ruined one myself, although, luckily, it wasn't mine. No, I haven't fired any monos in a double rifle since, and never will. I don't have to get bit twice.

In the interest of helping other DR shooters to avoid the same costly error, I am always more than willing to provide details when the issue comes up. In your case however, feel free to dig them out of the archives yourself.
