Ok thanks guys! I don't have a short starter (yet) nor lube so will add them to the "list." Don't know what's going on w/ NE Dave - he hasn't responded to my initial email with the order and it's been 11 days and still no shipment/receiving joy. LOL! I do have sabot'd projectiles to try so will obviously use them this first time out. I guess cayugad got me going on the conical / no swab between shots benefit!

Cascadedad, let me get out 1-2 times myself and I'll work out a date/time to come on over and sling lead with you ...

cheers,
phil
