Thanks Al.

The proverbial 'check is in the mail'. Just dropped them in the box this morning.

I hope you guys will be gentle with me in what is sure to be a seemingly endless string of inane questions. Like 'where do I get polyfill' and 'how do I measure rim thickness' and 'is a rockchucker tall enough?'. I'm sure to think up some more.

Now I'm off to edit my signature and add DRSS to it.

Welcome to the DRSS [Double rifle Shooters Society].

I have shot that rifle and it shoots good.

You can get polyester filling at most craft or sewing stores.

I prefer to cut out foam, with a chamfered [to sharpen it] 50 BMG case.

The foam that is flat on both sides [ie not egg crate type] that comes in most rifle cases is fine.

Just be sure that whatever filler you use is compressed between the bullet base and the powder.

I have shot identical loads with poly and 3 different kinds of foam and could tell no difference.

Do not be afraid to ask any questions you might have.

And the Rockchucker is not tall enough. Get yourself a Lee Classic Cast Press. I bought one recently for loading .450 #2's and it works flawlessly. Also, they are VERY reasonably priced. Pretty much the only metallic reloading equipment I own that is NOT RCBS!

Steve- Congratulations! I knew Al would sell his rifle quickly. While at the DSC I looked at the Heym PH, I liked it. My second year of temptation. Sometime I will cave in!!

Glad you got home OK, it was great meeting you.

Thanks everyone. I can't wait to get it. Even Lisa (the wife) is excited as I've been asking her for a double on every Christmas and Birthday for the past several years.

Plan to whack a buff or two with it

Now if I can only talk her into an elephant hunt...

470 is right, they are like the old chip commercial, you just can't stop with one. Thats ok with us though. This disease that afflicts us here at the DRSS is not one which we are seeking a cure, just a fix.


You can borrow money, but you can't borrow time. Don't wait, go now.

Damn...

First was the cocaine habit (kicked for 20 years), then the African hunting habit (no willpower here), and now this.

Atleast I could hide the coke habit from my friends and family.
