   No mess at all, the wax vaporizes. Will work fine on the .243AI. You cant put enough trailboss in a case even with a heavy bullet seated to get any kind of dangerous pressure, youd be lucky to get...

   Ive found the best method for all my wildcats/Ackley's etc is a full to the brim case of Trailboss then stab it into a candle to seal with a plug of wax. Most cases will form fully this way and its...

   You have a good perspective on this Danny, really good to see. I hear far too many people saying 'close enough' or 'it's minute of deer' which is piss poor when you're taking an animals life. ...
