The Vault (where period data comes out
of the shadows)
NOTE! The following are extracts from
reproductions of library books that were digitized by Google as part of an ongoing
effort to preserve the information in books and make it universally
accessible. My extracts link to the Google Books document,
identifies the original book, magazine, or periodical, and makes no
effort to resemble the original article, format-wise. The following
extracts are placed on a site that does not sell related products,
does not sell printed copies, and to the best of my knowledge, does
not have click-bait, JS, CSS, or any fooling around with the pages.
Please contact ME to
report suspicious activity on the pages contained on

rights for any of these extracts to be hosted on any other site. If
anyone asks for money to access these files, you most likely are at
another site than mine. Accept no substitute for Holy Joy...
NOTE! I do not have any ability

derivation or any other Google Books sourced document. If you see
something that you would like to research and publish on, or make a
commercial copy of the article, please contact Google and request

Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain
materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books
belong to the public and we are merely their custodians.
Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing
this resource, we have taken steps to prevent abuse by commercial
parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated
querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files
+ Refrain from automated querying
+ Maintain attribution The Google “watermark”
+ Keep it legal
Editor's Note: The internet has become
an echo chamber where users cut and paste material without
attribution. The men and women pioneers in cast bullet shooting at
the turn of the 19th century were applying "scientific" methods to
quantifying things like ballistics, chemistry, metallurgy, lead
alloys, optics, physical conditioning, and many other aspects of the
shooting genre. Articles have been selected that bear on reloading,
casting, shooting, and specific guns, bullets, powders... There is a
lot of things in reloading and casting that we do even today, but
now we have a better idea on WHY it works... or doesn't...
