Here it is seven years down the road and, yesterday, I finally got the hard cast bullet out of the bore of my 11.15X65 Sauer. My next step will be to find a soft, store bought bullet to shoot. My wish is to be inventive and shoot those bullets out of plastic .410 shotgun cases sealed with wax or glue. What could be simpler? I do have a few 11.15X65 cartridges, a gift from a friend, but I would rather not use them for shooting. I will try to check back in less than seven years this time.
