So i have a friend looking at buying some more ground as a investment with recreation/hunting as a bonus. He was telling me about the ground which is not in a area of good ground. Rolling ground and little top soil think pasture ground. He says the land has been renting for 325 a acre. I said...
The 3" shells will chamber but when they go off the crimped area expands out of the chamber area into the barrel. Can create dangerous pressure. I would advise against it.
