I am no expert .... The idea of cork with space above powder needs to be clarified. The cork wad is actually touching the base of the bullet and therefore there is no issue. If there was space between the wad and the powder one side and space also between cork and bullet on the other side, then you would have a serious problem, similar to bore obstruction. Please feel free to comment on this. BTW - George - The primer goes off first and then the powder. The pressure build up is AFTER that. When you break down each mini event into individual events, you will yourself learn that there is no correlation between a hang fire and key holing. If you got both happening at the same time IN YOUR 7MM Mag, that is called "coincidence" and not a "correlation". Epistemology 101 !  "When the wind stops....start rowing.

From Shooting the British Double Rifle (page 133): "The same cartridge and load [.38-55 cases loaded with 10 grains of Bullseye] was used with various wad material and also with no wadding at all. They also experimented with wads positioned off the powder by varying amounts and felt wads as bullet base protectors. The results can summarized as follows: 1. Wads positioned on the powder all gave some ringing effect . . . 4. A cork wad positioned 0.2" off the powder produced no ringing." Mike | |||

I am an expert! No one said the primer did not go off. | |||

I couldn't figure out what you fellows were talking about until I remembered that Shootaway is on my ignore list. Put him on yours and he goes away. Quick, Cheap, or Good: Pick Two | |||

I have never seen any reason to put anyone on ignore. I simply skip over one I don't choose to read. My reasoning is in your post above, ie it makes some debates difficult to understand when you only get half of the debate. ....................................................................  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||

Mike would you not consider the possibility of sleeving or replacing the barrel to correct it once and for all? Or does this restoration alter the intrinsic value of the rifle? ROYAL KAFUE LTD Email - kafueroyal@gmail.com Tel/Whatsapp (00260) 975315144 Instagram - kafueroyal | |||

Of course since the barrels are the original barrels you would prefer to address the issue in the least intrusive way possible. The cork wads seem to work fine. If that did not work, then I think you would swag/draw bullets to a slightly larger diameter. Rebarreling is not only very expensive, perhaps even more costly than the rifle would be worth, but at that point you have destroyed the originality of the rifle. Wads may work for the rest of the rifle's life. Mike | |||

If the rifle needs a new barrel, it needs a new barrel. | |||

Rusty, Always good to know your patron saints. I know, I need to talk to the Boss. If I am going to steal her paper plates for targets she needs to start buying more range-appropriate paper plates. Mike | |||

Hey Mac, you should give it a try. Only seeing half of the argument with Shootacow on ignore is actually a better argument - and more entertaining! Antlers Double Rifle Shooters Society Heym 450/400 3" | |||

I am curious how one determines the gap size between a cork and powder and how can you insure its stability in a hunting situation or even at the bench???? Ive never had the problem so all this is something new to me and Im interested. Ive only used foam plugs from Europe, WR as I recall or ones I bought at SCI.
