Semisane

I did recover some and I think I sent them to Dave. The cup really did have engraving cut in them, but I think the hollow base needs to be a little deeper and the walls a little thinner to get the expansion from brass that you need. Right now Dave is so busy - I do not know whem he might have tme to get back to them.

The creation of the sabotless was a spur of the moment thing as it was - i think I mentioned it to him in July sometime.

If everything goes right I think he might get back to them late spring early summer - but I actually have no ideal.

The 45 caliber sabotless are very close to being what is needed to fit 90% of the guns out there. And the opposit is true of the 50's - there are and is such a wide range of bore sizes in the 50 cal market. Making the right fit is going to be difficult, it might take 3 or 4 different sized bullets.

That's a great technique Cayugad. Thanks for putting it out there.
