Still, why offend such a fragile material with a Ramset - hard to put back what ye Ramset blows assunder. That's for people in a hurry who don't give a crap if they crack things up. Carbide drills are cheap these days. And seriously, anchors would hold something with the pivoting potential of a mantel(like when some puts stuff on it)better than those smooth nails. Ramsets are great for tacking down stud walls where the movement is perpendicular to the shaft/shank. Hopefully you treated yourself to the trigger type if you got one - much handier than the hammer-activated.

You've seen what he calls a "mantle", right? He could set that for good and all with some liquid nails.
There is this. It does look pretty light. Not like a chest-high mantle that some drunk is going to lean against with full body weight in addition to a 200 lb. mantle.

There are already ramset pins in the current cleats, I'm going too add a couple more to each.
Previous owner put in three for each 8' 2x4, and half are loose.
There should be horizontal mortar joint behind each cleat. Should be.
If not I also have Tapcons.

I like to supplement it with a dose of man chowder. Helps with the initial adhesion.
I think of it as backup - drywall with nails or screw with LN backup. Stud wall nailed of screwed together, ditto. But yeah, sucks in many locations. Kind of funny-sad when it rips the wood off but the LN stays intact.

Tapcons with a small pre-drill would stop the "loose" issue better than Ramset - and avoid it for the future. They are just so brutal on masonry products other than solid concrete. *Tapcon gets loose you can get a bigger one. Ramset gets loose that hole pretty much fucked.

Immi seemed to think it was a nice fucking house, so get to fucking. Or wacking. No opinion on that other than a good wack beat a bad fuck and vis-a-vis.
True.
If it was my house and I could still manage a boner, there would be cum everywhere in there.
Like the video I posted last week
