They are terrible. I spent a lot of time putting in wire, iron rods and anything else I could think of to keep them from digging under the slab of my garage. I live in town and can't shoot them.

What were the problems reported for the trapdoors performance at the Little Big Horn and in the Philippines which led to its replacement?

I have an older Belding and Mull powder measure with a brass hopper. Is that safe to use for black powder if I have a brass drop tube?
I have just gotten a trapdoor springfield in 45-70. Can I load those cartridges with a 310 tool? I am wondering if the length makes them awkward to accommodate in a tong tool.
