Secondary use for BACO bore wipers - Don McDowell - 06-14-2018
Practice day at Lodi I was using some ammunition I had loaded up using the reformed 348 brass from BACO, that Rick included with the rifle.
Things were cruising right along and then I reached into the line box and pulled a round out. Well poop it won't chamber, so extracted it and was looking to see the problem, the cartridge had developed a lengthwise split sometime after I loaded it , and during the trip to Lodi. Still not sure why,,
Anyway to the very next round in line, booom, target went down, extracted the bottom 3rd of the case...
Well now how to get the rest of it out, then it dawned on me that maybe one of the BWS's would be worth a try, so it took one from the catch pan and down the muzzle it went with cleaning rod faithfully pushing it along, and out came the rest of the case just as easy as you please...Adapt and over come,, use what you got

Good thinking Don. We were shooting at Milan buffalo match and a person on our squad had a case separation and didn't have any way to get it out so I took a .50 cal bronze cleaning brush and put in in his .45 caliber case ,unscrewed the rod and slid it down the barrel and knocked the whole works out and he got his shots off in time.

Sounds like the inspiration of desperation

Not necessarily desperation but the clock was running

Don
I should have 'crap-canned' that dang brass instead of letting you have it! There's enough good brass there such that I'd do just that....crap can it!!
RE: Secondary use for BACO bore wipers - Don McDowell - 07-21-2018
Rick all is well. But yes that reformed brass is relegated to non use.. Hopefully I can do that rifle justice next week at Alliance.
