    I had to go over to the smith to pick up a .22 I had him work on.
    Conversation got around to I am considering a Shilo Sharps.  He
    said you will have to wait about 5 yr on the waiting list.  He had
    a bullet from a guy here in town that has one and dug it out.
    3 inches by 1/2 inch--youza.  He also has a .378 cartridge reamer
    and showed me some bullets from some wildcats he has made.  7mm/.378
    .30/.378 and .338/.378.  The brass on those things must be a good 
    5/8 in. thick--talk about the need for speed (and asprin).

    A bullet that's 3"x1/2" would have a heck of a sectional density, not
    to mention a great BC.
    5/8" thick brass?? WOW!  I've seen some pretty big cannon shells, and
    the walls weren't 5/8" thick.  Must be some serious chamber pressure
    behind those bullets.
