Default RE: Cast 38-55 gas -checks?

I was under the impression you had to mix 9lbs of WW's to 1lb af 50/50 solder to get #2 alloy? Didn't know you can use straight WW's?Was not aware there was two different brass lengths? I have 100 Win new and about 150rds of factory Win with a box or two of the old CIL/Dominion[Canada] Anything that gets shot with this round is sick and leaking under 150 yards or so.Seen deer taken at 200 though.As for the H+R SS's they shoot great as I have a 30-30 that cloverleafs 170gr handloads with boring regularity when I do my part.Used as a trainer for my 3 boys to drive home the importance of making the first shot count! Many deer and a moose later...................any suggestions for a bore cleaner to remove copper/and other foulings?Was going to check my bear baits this weekend but we got 2ft of snow and it dropped to -20C after it was +20 only a week ago.If you don't like the weather in Alberta just wait 5min it will change!Thanx Harold
