I assume with light loads the problem doesn't happen ?

That bore isn't so bad, you can actually see rifling. Mine was like a bad shotgun barrel. working on reboring to 32-30 , trying to figure out how to ream it smooth at the moment.

I have 3 375 take off barrels ( Win BB ) and they all accept 38-55 Starline , similar to Jedman ,I adapted 2 of the barrels to 20 gauge rollingblocks to make BP 38-55 shooters. nice shiney new bores...

use the Lee 35 Rem bullet, 200 grains . load up some light loads and go from there.

My situation is similar to RustyReel but Dutchman probably has the right idea ( one of mine was rechambered to 50-70 and another one accepts it with a little taken off the rim. the Lee 450 shoots...

try some Hungarian 8x56 brass first if you have any. a lot less work I would expect.

I use BP in my 73 38-40 also made in 1889 ( also with a not so good bore ). my other 38-40's and 44-40's have been getting 6.5 - 7.0 Gr Herco lately for plinking loads and they work awesome. make...

I bought 4 Willyses ( plural ?) for $2500 in early 2018 that were rotting in someones back yard for the last 25 years. I could salvage one frame ( still needed repairs and straightening ) 2 axles...
Forum: Leverguns
why wouldn't anyone have suggested having both ( at least one of each ) 38-40 and 44-40 . Don't old BP cartridges have great caliber names, If someone asks "what caliber is that " they don't know...

I got a few 375 take off barrels and used 2 of them on rolling blocks to make 38-55's . I am able to use starline 38-55 brass without any issues. so far I have only shot 2F BP loads ,.
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
also, that groove is about 3/16" below the solid brass if you measure the inside depth of the case.
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
all that is , is the remains of the groove that's in 32-20 cases , the diameter of the base has been turned down to fit a WSL chamber and it left a little of the original 32-20 groove above the rim....

set it on the table during a spaghetti and wine dinner, it'll get stained :)
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
I find the 45-90 works good with light loads but gets quite a bulge with full house 2F loads. the 300 win mag works very well as long as you slowly form it to "headspace" on the shoulder.
