 Chuck-

It was an interesting project and you have determined the capabilities of these rifles in their current condition. It’s not your fault that they were shot out before you got to play with them. I’m concerned to see that you seem to be taking this disappointment so hard by falling into the black rifle abyss. I’m hoping this is just a temporary affliction and you’ll be back to enjoying blue steel and Walnut soon!

I am disappointed with my Lees.  But I did figure out how to load them and got dies made. I will always be in love with steel and walnut.  I just can’t shoot 50 to 100 rounds a week without doing some harm to them.
