The .61 cutout would fit 45-70 .608 rim diameter
Above rim recess .538 would also fit for a 45-70, clearance, the rim will guide it.
I suspect It could be for a 45-70, althoug 1mm short, or for a...

Typical German Straight bullet seater.
As it says, caliber 11.5x52R not that hard to read the numbers ;)

The late Winchesters have a fly in the hammer to jump the fullcock.
The Ubertis simply stop the stroke so you dont reach full cock.

My Uberti 1885 40-65 was also half-cock at closing from the beginning.
Also impossible to take out the block down for cleaning, the hammer hits the lower tang.
Compared it to my original Winchester...
BAW, What rifle and twist do you have in your 32-40?
Do you shoot it with Blackpowder?

The 8x58RD Rolling block is SWEDISH!
Not to be confused to the same cartridge 8x58RD loaded in the DANISH Krag Repeater that was loaded considerably hotter!
Be careful out there!
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Wow, that was realy good news!
Great shooting!
What velocity do you think you are at?
Using any filler in the case?
Forum: Muzzleloading.
That is probably the m/1850 Flankörpistol, it was supposed to be loaded with six .35" balls if memory serves me correctly? :-P
Husqvarna never made any 9x57 rifles to my knowledge, only 9.3x57 for a .366" bullet
The 9x57 is a German thing, not Swedish.

1:16 is pretty fast twist for a .45 cal, you could easily shoot heavy bullets in that one!

Nice to hear from you Peter,
Good to clear all the guessing.
Original bullets both for 9.3x57R and 9.3x72 was 12,5Grams (192gn)
The 1-16" twist will probably handle a 250gn bullet without...

But since the 9.3x72R fits the chamber, you probably have a rechambered rifle so your CH4D dies will probably work fine.
Reading up little about reloading...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
The 9.3x57R is a shorter version of the 9.3x72R the longer case can be trimmed down to 57mm and be resized an reloaded as 9.3x57R.
If the 9.3x72R fits the chamber it is most likely that the 9.3x57R...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Again, check that is 9.3x72R, I'm pretty sure it is 9.3x57R, as Husqvarna never listed any 9.3x72R for their model 17.
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Never seen a Husqvarna model 17 in caliber 9.3x72R?, to my knowledge they were only chambered in the 9.3x57R length. 192gn was the factory bullet weight. S&B still makes factory ammo I think?
