But it went very well. Slugged the 43 Spanish RB and a Steyr 95 8x56R I have had for ages. 43 Spanish RB - Heard all the stories of oversized chambers and bores on those too. When I got the rifle, had nothing/had to get brass/dies/mold. Lucked up on a mold and took a chance that the bore WOULD be oversized. Found an RCBS 44-370 (~.446/Spanish should be .439) double cavity mold (can only get new 1C) with handle on fleabay for $50. Turns out my 43 slugs at .444. That 44-370 should be absolutely perfect for the old war horse! I am thrilled.

I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time. NRA Life Member

Long story, but that one is getting traded out with my buddy I got it from. All 3 RBs will see cast bullets. Intend to shoot them out to ~350 yds against some of the kids and their plastic guns. Should be a hoot!
