    @ Indian Joe - Thanks for the suggestions. My rifle has an MVA globe front sight. The 9.5x47R is indeed shaped rather like the 45-75, albeit a somewhat sharper shoulder. Compression is really just to...

    Definitely worth trying. Though compression in these loads is very limited - a tenth to an eighth of an inch at most - and nothing is below the base of the neck. Nevertheless, another variable to...

    Thanks for the suggestion. I use more of a piglet than a pig ;-) Tried some very nice/well made bore pigs from Buffalo Arms but they were soooo tight in the bore it was more work than worth. So, I...

    Thanks for the thoughts on grease cookies. Now that the Delrin rod should allow for wiping after every shot without having to fold the tang sight and remove the bolt, I will try the next batch...

    Source for Lyman 311284 210 grs ?

    Montana Bullet Works has discontinued the Lyman 311284 210 grs GC which is my go-to for 30-40. My Google skills have let me down as I cannot find another source. Anyone have a line on a good source...

    A big THANK YOU.

    I haven’t been able to get out shooting so I can’t say that wiping every shot has tightened up groups, but the Delrin rod suggestion has made it possible. I can get in and wipe...

    Thanks to you and Bent Ramrod. I didn’t think a Delrin rod would have enough flex, but, your process of elimination suggests that fouling is in fact the next thing to go after, so why not try? I...

    This is interesting. It’s a progressive twist 1:14 so it should be stabilizing a 250 grs bullet but the slicks are .365, so they will be longer than the average bear. That wants some looking into.

    I have a Mauserbuchsen, a single shot based on the 1871 action, but scaled down and using the 9.5x47R cartridge, derived from the 43 Mauser case.

    I paper patch for mine. It has relatively shallow...

    We can rule out headspace given that this is one primer out hundreds rounds fired by me in this rifle.

    Low pressure makes a lot more sense though why it would appear in only one cartridge is odd....

    Pressure or Primer ?

    I have never seen this with a primer in a black powder cartridge.

    Rifle is a late 1870s Mauserbuchsen, a scaled down 1871 Gewehr action.

    Cartridge is 9.5x47R, an early German adaptation of the...

    Thanks very much for taking the time to respond and explain.

    Thanks to you both.

    @edp2k More powder makes good sense, faster revolutions. Will have to try.
