Dang it!

Bam! Glad it worked.

Please do …

Interesting concept that I had not fully considered for 450/400 3”. Hmmm … Dacron as a filler? Wonder how to test the concept. My powder charge is well below H4350 max but shooting sub-MOA so I’d like to keep the load but improve the bulging primer issue.

Silencer 4457 signed at IAD and in hand. No mention of any issue or conflict. Maybe I’m having good luck. Sorry to hear of the troubles out there … frustrating.

Just PM’d you

Dang it! I’ll try tomorrow.
