Back when Wolf steel case Berdan ammo was cheap and available, I’d say to run a few magazines of it through that barrel to season it and then see what’s what with hand loads.
But it’s $16/20 plus...

And thank you for your advice, CW.
You really helped me on the .256 from .357 project!

The 10.4 gr Unique load worked well for fireforming and shot well at 40 yards. This time I used 155 gr cast bullets.
44-40 on the left, 7-30 W on the right.
I would hunt with either one at close...

I’ve never taken a gobbler with the .218 Bee.
I hope to amend that statement next Saturday with a 55 gr Lee Bator boolit!

I put the front sight on my 44WCF single shot carbine in 2018 with JB Weld.
It’s still there.
I’m a believer.

Spring Turkey season is right around the corner and that would work just fine on old Tom!

It must have been related to the storm last night- I see the pics this morning.
That is a great looking rifle with the Maple stock; good work!

The mention of the Bish gunsmithing book brings back fond memories.
Do not leave cartridges in the trap- the moisture of the stock will create crud on the cartridges. The bullets on .22 shells will...

Neat old revolvers. My FFL friend and I bought 5 of them from Martin B Redding out of Culver City California for $25 each back in the good old days…..

I had a Galesi .25 and the little thing was easy to roll cans with- very accurate. I’d still have it but the firing pin hole in the slide developed a split where the steel was thin. I sold it for...

I loaded the fireformed brass with 29 grs of H4895 and some unknown brand 140gr btsp.
And one more with a 154gr cast bullet over 10.4 grs Unique.
It hit center and low, and the 140grs hit dead on...

Barry54,
They (Ginex)have worked just fine in my bolt action rifles.
The first three Ginex primed 7-30 rounds that didn’t fire in the Topper;

They formed just fine after annealing and I haven’t lost a one.

The smallest I’ve loaded for is .32 automatic.

I necked up two R-P .244 Remington and eleven Norma 6mm Remington brass to 6.5, then to 7x57 Mauser as an experiment.
It worked just fine.
In case 7mm brass gets hard to find….
