Gary: Yep, some of the things I've pulled it's amazing I've been let live
this long. How you doing pard???

Bob: As you should recall this was a couple years before you decided
to part with that Cooper.
My first try at playing with these tiny cases. At the time all I had was H110.

IF I had increased by .2, I'd bet there would have been more blood loss
and broken parts.

As it was, the primer pocket was a full 1/4" dia and head of case was
split. Break open type rifle blew open.
Mighty lucky I didn't eat any of it, or get the safety glassed busted.

I started loading at 14 in 1958 without the first clue with Herter's crap and a Lyman book of the era and an old 1917 Enfield '06. Scrap yard brass for a nickel or dime a pound. IF there were mistakes to be made, I made 'em~! At that time there wasn't a sole we knew that reloaded anything.

Those OLD Enfields were fool proof, I'm proof of that in never blowing one up.
