Cast Bullets in the Mod. 81

Steven you have to realize this is a forum not a blog. In a forum enviroment people post and other people either agree, disagree, or add to the topic for whatever reason. My lofty position as a moderator has nothing to do with my thoughts but it does have something to do with questioning what I think might be unsafe loading practices. You're absolutely right that I've never loaded cast bullets for an autoloading rifle but I do know something about powder burn rates and pressure curves and Unique seems like it would be too fast to function one of them safely. You'll notice that I didn't say you were wrong and said if I was wrong I'd remove my posts if you weren't but did ask for other's opinions on the matter. I also didn't read anywhere where people said they where hammering a loaded round into a chamber. I did read where some guys had to knock the bolt open to remove a fired round but that's a whole different matter. Sometimes I have to hammer the bolt open on my 30x47 but it's not because I'm shooting unsafe loads it's just because after researching the subject and talking to guys like Randy Robinett I found out it's the nature of the beast.

If you're going to get ticked off every time someone asks a question or questions something you say you're going to have a hard time here. You say you've been casting for 42 years but I've never found a correlation between length of service and knowledge so when you write something that someone elses experiences or thought process leads them to believe to be not be quite right you're going to have to get used to being called on it. If you try to remember that just like yourself other people that post have years of experience that might not coincide with what you've seen and are just as vocal about it things will be a lot easier. It's nothing personal but just the way things work.
