Thanks for the pictures. I have never seen this before. I have seen some pictures of rifles with the cap feeder on the lock. This item is quite small right. Not much bigger than toy cap gun caps?...

thank you for sharing.

thank you for sharing.

I have converted other brass from Berdan to Boxer. It is way easier than what you described. I just drill a small hole through the anvil in the primer pocket and then use a larger drill and drill...

Well match shooting this is not. It is a Belgian made double rifle. I am not seeing any gas leaks with the loose primer pockets but was wondering, even if I get some gas leaks, is it really an issue....

The ones with the loose primer pockets are headstamped "BELL 450 BASE NE" I have other brass and they are all 450 NE brass some for Boxer primers from Hornady and HDS and some for Berdan primers from...

This is what I am driving at, if they stay in long enough to shoot but fall out after being shot, are they still usable. Even if they leak pressure, is that a problem if using black powder. Thinking...

I have read here; I am pretty sure it was here. That it is illegal for just anyone to sell boolits they cast themselves. You need a license or something. I see people selling boolits and bullets in...

I have some well used brass that has developed loose primer pockets but is otherwise in good condition. I had a couple primers fall out after being fired. These were 450 BPE with 2fg black powder and...

Ok, I want to duplex my 450 BPE rounds. Will be 110 gr. 2fg black powder. How much smokeless and does it matter what smokeless powder I use? Do I put the smokeless on the bottom or the top?

I found this "This listing is for a Frank Wesson Model 1870 Single Shot Rifle chambered in 22 (Rimfire) Caliber Rifle Serial Number 12 Manufactured approximately 1876. We believe this to be a First...

This is the oldest I have found so far "Winchester Model 1873 Takedown that is chambered in .22 Short, manufactured in 1884, the first year they were offered in a rimfire caliber."

It is hard to...

S&W Model 1 was .22 rf short only. The model 1 1/2 and model 2 were .32 rf long.

Not true, there were a lot of small game guns in .25 and .32 rimfire in the black powder and even later era. They were just mostly single shot boy's rifles. Stevens and Remington sold a lot of them....

It is a good question but I think a better question would be why did it take so long for S&W to chamber a revolver in .22 LR, like half a century after the .22 LR was released, S&W still did not have...

I did not weigh the ones I pulled but I could see voids in the base of some.

This seems like a slippery slope but, maybe you should turn all your pucks into fines and repuck them to make an even better powder. That is like a 7% density increase.

I will check my Chrony, I think it is a mini-phone plug, the kind on cheap headphones that worked with old cell phones and walkmans and ipods. Don't know it you know anything about soldering but you...

I have a brass frame 36 cal. Colt style cap and ball revolver. I probably has 300 or 400 rounds fired, seems fine.

While I agree that the recent price increases are unusual, prices rising is normal. Prices will only fall back briefly if at all before the start to rise again.

I would build one like that if I had free all thread :-)

Hercules 1983 Reloaders Guide lists 2.2 gr. of Bullseye as the max load for .38 S&W with a 145 gr. lead bullet.

The 45th edition of Lyman Reloading Handbook lists 2.0 gr. of bullseye as the...

There is data around that would be useful to guestimate a load but I have to ask, what is the gun and what is the conversion cylinder. Is it modern or from the nineteenth century. If it was chambered...

My cheap China made dial caliper has very easy zero, small thumbscrew holds the bezzle, glass, and scale. Loosen the thumbscrew, rotate the bezzle until the zero on the scale aligns with the...

I think they are going about 1200 fps. All the bullets are already loaded so would have to pull the bullets to up the velocity if I do that I would just melt the bullets, not much use for just 25...
