Believe it or not, someone just gave me (free) one today as a gift along with a few boxes of ammo.257213257214
I just tried it out. https://youtu.be/zFiz7NaZSl0 Works just fine.
I find the gun...
The Pis not a good choice for a noise suppressor because it is a straight blow back pistol. That means some noise comes out of the ejection port as the gas pressure is still a little high when the...

Thank you for the file. Something to do on a snowy day. :)
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Today we have snow. A perfect opportunity to do some reloading. So I was belling a .44 Special case when it stuck in the die. So I lifted a little harder. SNAP!
For 30 years it worked...
One is a Uberti. One is a 1st gen Colt.
Both shoot well and have 4 clicks when cocking them.

I am very happy to find this thread. I have been using .444 Marlin brass in a rolling block someone rebored to .410. Needless to say I was very puzzled by the hour glass shape some of my extracted...

I did some loads out of Elmer Keith, except with Hornady 250 gr. JHP (XTP) bullets.
From a 4" revolver I got about 1100 fps. See my video of the test at...

I see no read to re barrel or re chamber based on the description furnished. I concur you seem to have a MK II artillery carbine with the S-X conversion (a MK III extractor was fitted into the MK II...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
It maybe heresy but for the past year I have been using 85gr of Goex FFF (yes, 3 F) with no problems.
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
That is a fairly common seperation, especially with 'new' Kynoch loads that have sat on a shelf or in a garage somewhere for 70 years before you purchased it. I am not at all sure the filler had a...

See my video of me doing this for a Berdan primed .577-450 case. Yes, a B drill works well. Do not forget to chamfer the case head so the primer lip is slightly recessed. I seat them with a wood...
Try my short video. I think it shows what you want. I use a size B drill and seat them with a wood mallet. Works well.

Allegedly 12 grains of Unique in a .303 Martini Henry
Note that it was proof tested, but the stamps on it show the test was a black powder proof test, NOT a smokeless powder test.

I have ordered one. I too am thinking of using it as a model for making a new one. However, I am thinking in terms of .32 Short, .38 Speciall or even 5.56mm rather than a caliber I can't just buy a...

It is what Blackwater said. Dry medium. I have (well a few seconds ago anyway) a .45 acp JHP that is the cat's meow according to some gun writers. Fired into a log with a bunch of it's brothers...
It really depends on whose 44-40 and made in what year and century. Significant variation exists between then and now. Also even with the old time revolvers, cylinder mouth diameter was sometimes...
Forum: Leverguns
I believe SmokeyWolf put his thumb on much of the problem. Why would a manfacturer spend time and money to market a new lever gun if he can just pump out ARs for quick sale instead? A genuine...
Forum: Cast Boolits
My worry was that you had a generation 1 pistol, i.e., BP only. But if you have a modern replica designed for smokeless powder you should be okay. I just found unique a lot smokier than I wanted. ...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Different caliber but it may be applicable. Someone gave me some used 44 Magnum brass to cut down to .44 Webley/Bulldog (BP load). On paper it would work well. However at the base just forward of...
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
For what it is worth last year I made a crimping die for caliber .442 Webley (before realizing a shortened .44 Special die worked just as well) out of 7/8" all thread rod. What I found to be the...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
I finally, after much hair pulling made sense of the chamber casting of my Rolling Block Carbine. The key was measuring the frame width. A precise 1.13". Only one variant matches that. The...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Unless you are firing them in a length critical device such as a Win 94, I don't see why it is important. The rim thickness is what 0.04"? I fire much shorter Schofield ammo in my Colts fairly...

LoL, I recently trimmed a batch (maybe 80?) 44 Special and 44 Magnum brass down to 44 Bulldog dimensions. For shortening I found the lathe cutoff bar to be horrible. Can we say burr city?
