    Anybody do a steel ring on brass revolvers?

    Does anybody know of someone who can machine in a steel shim to shoot strong loads in a brass frame revolver?

    Picked up a real sweet Marlin 30-30. I want to try Pyrodex P in it. I did this in my Marlin 45/70 and it is great! My shoulder is toast, and the reduced recoil brings back the pleasure.

    The hang fires makes it sound like air space. Might be some crud preventing the casting to go all the way down.

    Rebore to 38/55

    My question is,
    Since I have no experience with a 38/55, is reboring a rifle from Thutty-thutty to 38-55 a realistic choice? I have no experience with a 38/55, and since my experience with a 45/70...
