Germans greatly extending the range and effectiveness of their artillery. A big HE round too! I also saw some South Africans (?) that made a special chamber and throat to shoot a .22 LR and a .22 WMR but squeezing the bullet to exit as a .177”. Very interesting! I’d prefer a WMR to try as I dislike scraping lead from bores. Most cartridges are designed to prevent ignorant mistakes like that. The .270’s moved shoulder and .450 Marlin’s w/wide belt are two that come to mind.

They managed to blow the barrel off the gun, but the action was undamaged. They cleaned the threads, screwed on a new barrel and continued to use the gun.

Some of these guys are blessed with bigger ones than I have or smaller brains. In fact, maybe both?

I remember reading in P.O. Ackley's writings.

Mr. Ackley did a LOT of experimenting
