    I wonder if it was the .43/77 UMC. I read that it used a .454" bullet, which is actually .45 caliber. Same cartridge as the .43 Spanish.

    I get where you're coming from. If you don't want a break action, how about an old Remington Rolling Block? IMO that would be a great choice.
    Or, a Savage bolt action. Some of them are pretty cheap,...

    I would probably use an H&R single shot action. Easy to find, inexpensive, and they work well.

    I'm a big fan of those too, and have owned several. The one I have now is the last iteration in .30-30 over 12 gauge, with a screw-in choke tube.

    2" medium frame .357s have always been rare. As for the 2-3/4" Ruger Six series, they may not be common in OK but they're not hard to find overall. I've had a couple of them and really like them a...

    I read the link and it says: "Heat the solution to 600C to completely dissolve the solids." That's 1112 degrees F! That's almost hot enough to melt aluminum.

    Don't discount the Rossi 92. It's no problem to put a peep sight on it (preferably the traditional side mount such as the Williams 5d and FP), and its rifling is more suitable for cast bullets.

    Sounds like a great project! Good idea, using 9mm brass. I've picked up 9mm brass until I got tired of it. A round ball for 9mm only weighs about 70 grains, so that's pretty cheap shooting even if I...

    I thought about this when .22 ammo was hard to find and expensive. My solution? .38 Special with a light cast bullet, or even a round ball (~70 grains). Another good choice is .32 S&W Long. I think a...

    Starline still makes it, although they are out of stock right now. But both of those are pretty good rounds to have because you can make .480 from .45/70 brass, and 450 Marlin from any number of...

    It should handle 70 grain bullets without issue, especially fairly blunt ones like the Speer. My 16 twist H&R .22 Hornet handles 55 grain bullets and boolits.

    Yeah, looks like a Spanish copy to me as well. I used to have one that looked about like it. I highly doubt it's a .357. I limited mine to standard velocity .38s.
