Q:

Hummm, things I think abut when I try to sleep!

I posted this on another thread in answer to a question on casting there, but I thought it would cause a bit of thought here on Other Guns!

“Syn, If you read the Cast Boolit forum, (Yes, that is how they spell it LOL!), you will see that many have tried to cast in .223-224 with few doing it justice. Seems the small dia. doesnt’ want to fill out well and give good consistent weights.

The .257 takes a bit of finess as well. 😀 I don’t EVEN want to try casting the .22’s any time soon. but you know me. I probably will eventually!

I’ve been saying that a .22 bullet in a powder burner bbl. should do just fine. but was told here on the TAG years ago that in NO WAY would it work. When I voiced my thoughts, I was either ignored with no responses to it, or was told NO, IT WILL NOT WORK!!! Well, We’re doing it with the .257 Bullets just fine thank you! And the Drummen Sinner is makeing big waves across the pond in AG BenchRest Matches. Yep, In .223 and .303. wouldn’t you know it! After they said it couldn’t be done. 🙄 😆

What’s bad about being ahead of your time, is that every one forgets you when you prove your Ideas valid! 😥 Buuuuut, guess who’s laughing now! :rofl:

I also said years ago that we should build a wooden stock to stiffen our frames. Nope, won’t work they said. Well, a few tried it. Damed if it didn’t work!

Now I want to use a 4500 psi bottle reg’d down to 3100 for shooting cast. Nope, Won’t work! Buuuut, Just a couple of weeks ago, some one here who knows how make a good reg. thought about it and said Hummm! Next move, put the bottle under the barrel hanging from the frame and shorten up the stock to make it a BULL PUP! Hummm!!!, Or have a second bottle in the rear just as it is now but with a reg, with the bottle in the front feeding it as well. Oh Hell Yes!!!. Now we have a REAL platform in the AF configuration for Big Bore with more shots on tap than any other big bore on the market.”

got that right! 👿

Yea , scorpions , rattlesnakes , and politicians live under rocks . I find the scorpions & rattlesnakes preferiable & much less dangerious .

I live about 70 miles northo of Austin. Can’t have a rock house here. Too many Damed scorpions! Grrrrrr!!! 👿

Yep. Drought was ROUGH!

I would love to reg. the .257. But got to have enought air to make it worth while.

May-be Soon! May-be Soon!!! 😉

Knife . I live in an old old rock house on the banks of Home Creek in Coleman county . Maybe 20 or so miles north of the Colorado River . Retired from the Navy in 88 and returned to the family ranching operation . Damn’d drought in 2011 nearly wiped me out but still hanging in there. Navy retirement almost pays for what I lose Ranching .
I have two condors, a 22 & a 25 , both with ETACREGS . Like the 25 so much seldom use the 22 . Thinking about changing the 22 to something more interesting . That is where I think a 4500 psi bottle & reg would be useful . Maybe if enough people express an interest we will get this guy at citrus to come across with these bottles .

What part of central Tx. you in SS&S?

Oh shit! 😯

😮

Knife . Their intensions were definatly carnal to begin with . Something about impregnating all the women on their planet & starting a new hybred species . However before I startet they insisted on performing some test & expermints on me & seemed kind of discusted & put out by what they found . Seemed to lose interert in the whole thing . I hadn’t been trying to escape all that hard but found out all the women looked like Nancy Pelosia & Hillary Clinton . I immediatly redoubled my escape efforts & was soon successful . A close call for sure .

Knife I haven’t been on the forum in several years but I finally escaped from the space aliens that capitured me . Had a hard time getting loged back in but finanly made it . I’ve been following your post on using a 4500 PSI bottel with regulator . Lots of potential there if the guy at citrus makes the bottles available . How about stacking them over & under with the 4500 bottel & reg feeding the standard AF bottle ? Lots of shots & the lower bottle would probably shoulder just right .Also , what brand of whiskey are you using before going to bed at night ?

Mike,

I won’t forget your innovation brother! You are da man bro! :geekn:
