[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 30769, member: 1007"] I think MAX has made some pretty good sense here. I also have used 3-5 grains of bulls eye!! I filled 2 cases with epoxy resin up to the bottom of the neck and drilled out for a flash hole. Sounds like a cap gun. He he he!! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] I think some bullets will stabilize quicker than others.
