In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man
Since I mentioned cast bullets, I'm especially focused on bevel base & boattail designs to avoid running afoul of the inner case taper. Not long ago I pulled down a bunch of cast 9mm reloads from long ago and had a some difficulties since I had seated the bullets a bit too deep and they were jammed pretty tight into the inner taper. This led to a round of case measuring and overthinking potential issues.
Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem
I prefer the tumult of liberty to the quiet of servitude
-Thomas Jefferson
I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.
