	I've used the blown-up bullet ploy to excuse high power misses, but never tried it on cast bullets. I must remember that. Print out the message to "prove" it can happen, too.

	Are you using or have access to a chronograph? It should not be doing that! I suspect the velocity is not what it should be for some reason.

	John Boy, I have been wanting to get back to you . I thought my groove diameter on my Douglas/CPA rifle barrel was a .321" also ? I took the forearm off tonight after casting some bullets with the new Saeco mould . The barrel is stamped Douglas xx .3192 GR , 5/2015 . Surprised that the groove is .319 ! Although my Hoch mould casts a .321-.322 , and the Saeco bullets I casted today come at .321 all should work ? Thanks

	I am using RMC Everlast cases with small rifle primer pockets in my 32/40 for BP. Using 1 1/2Swiss at 200yd. First using Fed.GM match primers and getting tipping at 200yds. Switched to Rem 7 1/2 and tipping stopped. At 100yds. the Fed. GM match primers gave better accuracy than the Rem 7 1/2. Bob Iowa

This is a 10 shot group from my best shooting bullet to date. Its a Mos 205 gr spitzer 1.1 in long .322 base band 10.6gr #9.

	Just a little technicality and it only really matters in match shooting but, you have to subtract the groove diameter and not the base band diameter to obtain the group size. Frank

	You should be fine shooting .321-.322 bullets in your .319 barrel. I was a little concerned myself with my rifle in the beginning. I discussed it with Paul Shuttleworth and learned his barrel is .319 shooting .321 - .322 dia bullets very well. Bob

	Bob K (etc.) - I'd like to see you & I and Brudford 01 - perhaps Jan Prichard (if he'd pull the .32-20CPA out of the closet:), Paul Shuttleworth, and a handful of other true enthusiasts get together for a ".32-20CPA BR Funfest". 100 - 200, score or group. It's great to see all of us having such a fine time with this single shot game. Cheers to all! Ray

	Lets not forget the most important component.
