Is what I heard upon answering the phone. A buddy bought a 1895 Marlin in .45-70 and loaded up a dozen rounds with some cast bullets given to him from a coworker (he's a newbie reloader).

Couldn't find the paper at 50 yards.

Getting completely erratic results at 20 yards.

Started reading the 'net blather and cursed the day he ever bought a rifle with those '@#$%!! Micro-Grooves'.

Went over to his house with a caliper only to find he was given bullets for the .45 Colt.

He may not be through the woods on this yet but that right there is a problem.

I just LOVE easy ones like this.

ask him if he want s a trade.
