[QUOTE="muzzletalk, post: 2487965, member: 113581"] I wanted to reply to this last night, however, it appears the servers were having some issues and probably in everyone's favor since I'll nutshell my comments. I wanted to apologize for running some assumptions. Your comments hit me as generalized, however, now that you have added context, I can understand your concern. Furthermore, I agree with you. When you start dabbling in the wildcat arena, you, in a sense become the test subject. Kind of like a test pilot. Anyone new to the Sherman and new to reloading should be in contact with Rich in my opinion. He has a wealth of information, tested the cartridges himself, and can guide people on a good path. I'd also recommend reading Ackley's books on reloading and using Gordons Reloading Tool (paid version). The paid version gives you access to the programmers who can help you accurately model the cartridge. As an example [ATTACH type="full"]353569[/ATTACH] As far as Proof. Don't sweep the issue under the rug. Just be transparent. Acknowledge that there IS an issue, but more importantly ask people to hold off chambering their barrels with the Sherman line of cartridges until some resolve has been established. As fast as the Sherman community is growing, it still wouldn't scratch the surface of their revenue but it may save a new reloaders face at best and at minimum, reduce some frustrations. Good luck with the mile shots! [/QUOTE]
