the little bird said to tell all the bubbas that may want to put insert barrels into their shotguns that the shotgun must have bushed firing pins if high pressure rounds are to be used.

so before you reach for your nitro reamer read this :

without bushed firing pins the primers may rupture allowing gas to escape into the action thus blowing up the gun.

note: should this happen you may qualify for a Darwin Award !

that may be the only thing you will be remembered for, but it is a lasting memorium

yes, tom, you are correct, when HIGH PRESSURE rounds are used...

please, for the entire group, tell us what "high pressure" means and how many rimmed nitro cartidges fall into that catagory?

answer -
part 1 high pressure is above 50,000 CUP
part 2 - NONE


thanks for the humor this early,

only passing on info relayed to me to prevent one of the bubbas from blowing themselves up.

people who would bore out 45 -70 might also try wildcat reloading - ie, stuffing the case full of powder "just to see what will happen"

they seem obsessed with excess velocity.

true scientists

Tom,
benchrest shooters also frequently bush thier firing pins... because they drive pressures sky high.


you aren't suggesting that every bubba is an irresponsible reloader, are you?

I know you aren't as stupid as you are posting, so I am wondering, are you SPECIFICALLY trying to be an ass or is it a gift?

wildcatting, sir, is not overloading a case to see what will happen...

so, why don't you give the jackass routine a break, no?

Jeffe,

cut the man a little slack...he just hasn't been on the forum long enough to figure out how to fit in yet. Unlike suave, debonair, and sophisticated you and I...
