Bought a 1865 Rim Fire Trapdoor and will need to make brass. 28 gauge looks to be the nearest but would like to know for sure the outside diameter before buying a box.
Thank you !

Rim Dia., .677 inch. Base Dia. .620 inch. 2.5 in. Long
Thank you !! I appreciate your taking the time to measure this.
Wanted to verify that OD at the head and rim before buying a box to alter to rim-fire.
Taking a wild guess here, but most likely an austrian Wanzl, a breechloader conversion of the austrian Lorenz percussion rifled muskets.Quote:
