Looks good. Testing will resume. Stay tuned.

I think you may have struck upon a solution for those who want to see "all your slug designs". Just stack them together on a pizza plate and take a photo...from the polar view, like this.

Hmmm...they're all quite...round.laughing again

Breech altered to take shot shells better. Note new slug in breech.

Holy Smokes! That loading port is HUGE, it looks like you could lay a corn cob down in that chasm. Imagine what it would look like on a Justice...eye popping smiley That sliding breech really opens up some possibilities, doesn't it?

That slug sitting there in the trench reminds me of photos that I've seen of an old pneumatic subway system, I don't remember where. The cars had no engines, they were sealed to the circular tunnel walls and were propelled by pressure differentials, driven by huge air pumps in the tunnel network. I'll bet that played havoc with your eardrums, probably not the best place to be if you had a head cold.

You saw that on the wallpaper of Subway sandwich shops. I suspect it was fantasy.

Testing tonight works great. 2,500 psi produced 520 foot-pounds with the new slug. I'll see if it flies. BTW, shot two was only a few fps slower. Absolutely amazing power for psi expended.

Yes, a good size shot shell will cleanly load.

That's stepping right along for a slug that heavy, and exceptional power for such a low fill pressure. I'm VERY interested to see what it'll do at the range...hope it flies straight.

Cast slugs to try for insert today. Made another sizing die. Just filled tanks. A bit warmer today, but mud up to your ankles. Loading up now ...
