I really appreciate the comments you guys have made.
Talk about timing. I received my latest journal and there was a great article by Ken Lewis. He mentioned both the highwall and the Borchardt and how well he liked Borchardt actions for schuetzen. Course, he does have it rather nice while being able to work at BRC.
Now more questions; I was hoping to avoid wads in the case by chosing a shorter case than the 32-40 but it appears that a wad is necessary in them because of their length??
Several of you mentioned over time about the short cases (Miller short, 32-20) being very sensitive to powder charges. I looked at the .32 RKS as being a good compromise. Some still feel it may not be a good case for a beginner and should stay with the 32-40.
John, I read your article from 2010 on .357 based cases and you did write about one similar to the 32-30 Rem. Is that what you're using now?
I also looked back in the past posts and there was mention of having straight walled cases stick more in the chamber??
I did look at my action and see what you mean about the breechblock dropping below the case head and getting behind the extractor. I've never had one get behind the extractor in my highwall.
Johnboy: Thanks for the link. Good reading!
Joe: I don't want this so heavy that I'll need to take a mule along to pack it in.
