40-65: Learning what I can

[SgtDog0311]

Dang I appreciate a good answer... and a little history makes em all the better. Thanks!

You can tell this topic interests me, even beyond my 40-65. That’s the one in front of me so its foremost just now. But overall the shape of a chamber, the shape of the bullet and the interaction of the two at ignition fascinates me.

My personal experience has been similar to yours with flat(ter) transitions, albeit with Smokeless. Now I’m just starting down the Black Powder road which generates some questions all over again.

I’ll keep reading and trying to apply what I know to Black Powder and understand where what I think I know might change.

Appreciate the links… they look very interesting.

One clarification on your last couple sentences… that question was in regards to your #1 Sharps specifically (3.5 vs 5 degree) rather than in general terms. Just wondered if your wishing you’d stayed with the 3.5 came from anything you saw on your targets or just from staying true to the original cast? Just didn’t want you to think I was looking for a 3.5 endorsement across the board on account of ODGs
