Dude, you are full of it .. BP for small arms has Not been required to ship in glass for at least 30 years ... and the pyrodex/777/other stuff has NEVER been shipped in glass..

nor has smokeless powder, primers, or ANY of the other propellents .. this is non-factual in the last 3 decades .. it COULD have been true, older than that, but i have NEVER seen a glass lined bottle of powder .. never, not once, and have, at one time, had a massive collection of powder cans.

this comment is rubbish, AND, Daryl, primers weren't corrosive UNTIL fired .. that's why you can stil shoot those cases, 80+ years later!

You are good at reading in 'stuff' that isn't there.
I said the chemicals had to be shipped in glass lined rail cars - are you a politition?

You twist words like a democrat.

Daryl, you seem to make up issues like a Democrat.

Daryl,
you use a tactic that i don't respect -- twisting, turning, and changing until you are right on a specific issue, and then try to upstream that. Combined with the shifting of blame/ownership of proof, and then calling me a democrate because YOU were unclear is just plain old, well, I won't say it.

I will remind you, a couple posts back, that you said "I'm about finished with this thread."

I believe your timing to be a bit late

Look, I asked for proof, you gave me conjecture and misunderstood CA .. Buddy, I am sure we could be friends, but on this issue, i throw the BS card ...

the maker says it aint there, you say it is. Without knowing you, I give higher credence to the maker.

then the changing and twisting of the arguement until you want it to be right ... it aint

I heard that one can now get sabot's for the .72,if it is true,who manufactures it and how can I get hold of them.

Just about got to shoot mine today before the rain... Here's a couple of info sources:

Looks like 90-120 of FFG

And now for going on a tangent. I have three Kodiak double rifles, a .58- and two .72-calibers. Anyone interested in arranging a trade with me - my N.I.B. Pedersoli (not rebranded by reseller) for another .58-caliber - PM or email me that we may discuss it.

I'll have a Lyman .715-inch RB mold to accompany the Safari. Here is a picture of it.

Rain went away. Loaded and shot left, then right then loaded both and shot left, checked right (no movement) and shot, rain came back

Pretty proud actually, First time I've cast the bullet I shot. Thanks to Midway and Cabela's. I did notice the recoil put the rear sight down!

0.715" cast round ball,
0.010" lubed patch
90 gr (vol) of Triple 7 FFFG (I know)
A LOT of smoke

I'll crony the load tomorrow.

Loaded both 90 grains FFFG triple 7
Shot Right, checked, no movement of load, shot left.
Weight of balls is 520 grains
1261 FPS, and 1231 FPS
