	Shame about the posts, The S.E.E. is thought to be when the flame rolls over the top of the powder causing a massive area to ignite at once and cause a pressure spike instead of the ignition travelling through to powder column in a controlled manner. Gumpy

	That same theory applies to ol' 357 cal 148 gr wad cutter with, I believe, Unique or some other fast powder. You know, the theory that they could never duplicate in the lab. Double load? The flat powder theory also states that the wad touching the powder becomes the projectile and strikes the bullet causing (couple other theories start here) the ringing of the barrel.

	I was pissed (at myself) while dealing with a powder location problem of my own. While pulling bullets on some loads I was planning on taking to a match that were too hot for my 30 Wesson Ballard, I found 50 of the 100 rounds with a powder location problem. The powder was still in the powder bottle and not in any of the cases. Not sure a primer only load would be accurate at 200 yds. Jack

	So your temper effected your forum decorum but not so bad that you would post this picture. You still have an inkling of control, Jack. That's a good sign.

	Where is Biggi. She needs to photoshop a squirrel over the finger. (That should confuse a lot of people)

	I remember that squirrel thing. So Jack, what worked best for you as far as accuracy, thin floral foam wads or thick floral foam wads?

	I only used very thin foam wads. 1/16" or so. I did try Daves pipe insulation once but that is more suited for pre-charged cases. Mine was a 32 Miller Short High Wall. The foam was used to keep from dumping the powder into the action. This was that barrel and action from Chuck's estate that had the large nut on the barrel end. I still have the barrel and the action has the 28 barrel on it now.

	I burned some of the floral foam and it just turned black. Seems to be inert. I assume it comes out in the form of dust? Would like to see a high speed image of it as it exits the bore.

	Red Cent, Charlie Dell proved that with a flat powder face (like shot straight up in the air) and a decent air gap you don't need a wad to ring the chamber.
