For a Dutch Beaumont, am looking for 300 to 360-ish round nose projectiles, coated or lubed.

I see lots of round nose flat points offered, but those tend to not feed properly. Original design for...

This worked;

Now loading a few short cases to see if i can still get this gun to shoot :)

How this gun passed inspection back in the day is a mystery to me, especially since on every screw on the gun there's at least 3 inspector proof marks.

I loaded a live round, went to the...

"Galling in the chamber from chips packing in the flutes can tear the metal surface in the bore and create grooves in the
chamber."

Yep, that's most likely it.

Thought of ringing for a moment as well, but that drop off / cut is 90 degrees on bolt end, then the cut on the bottom is flat and is parallel to the cut of the neck, then straight back up and...

Here's some more pics, it looks too clean a cut to me to be from scoring or gouging (i'm no machinist though..)

Anyone have a Dutch Beaumont and a borescope, willing to have a quick peek at...

Thanks for the input.
I thought of that but it's cut perfectly at a 90 degree angle, i really doubt it's scored or gauged. The second one you see is because i'm using a combination of dies since i...

1875 dated .45 back powder cartridge gun (43 Beaumont caliber)

Upon re- forming / fire forming with cream of wheat i noticed the brass forming in the neck in an odd way. Bore scoped it and...

Thanks for the input. I've heard some case trimmers can not handle the big 50-90 case head; what are you guys using to trim 43 Beaumont brass once it's formed and just needs a little trimming?

Thanks for the input. so you seat the bullets with a universal expander die as set up in the youtube vid? Thought i read somewhere that some used a 45 long colt seater.
Also, have you slugged your...

Hi Guys, just got an 1875 dutch Beaumont, which i intend to shoot eventually.

Have 50-90 brass, and have seen this reload vid;

I know about the...

update, minimal neck tension with 19 grains worked just dandy, no unburnt powder kernels, consistent & accurate. about 1 moa for 6 shots at 100.

Quick accuracy question;

When loading the 314299 205 grain for a mosin pu sniper; do you want minimal neck tension and crimp, or minimal neck tension with a good crimp when using aliant 2400?
...

Just concerned about the case fill being a lot lower / less with the lovex ball vs 2400 flake. Anybody actually tried ?

Ok, i think i might have goofed on a powder order...:|

Bought 2 cans of Lovex D037.2 , or 'lovex heavy pistol', since the burn rate is comparable to Alliant 2400.

After i ordered them i...

thanks for the input, but that's for a different cartidge; would that not be a potential problem?

Alrighty, Had some very promising result today with my mosin PU sniper using a gas checked 314299 NOE 200 grain sized to .313, fed standard primer, PPU case and 20 grain AA 5744.

According...

interested in this for the 308, have any more info?

this.

Thanks for the input guys ! alrighty, first test results; the winner so far is the 10 grain red dot load with the 165 RNFP from Falcon cast bullets. Shows real promise over 4 or 5 shots, about 1.5...

Thanks for the input guys, this should get me started. Will report back.

For now i think i'll start with the 165's;
-12 grain trail boss,
-10 grain red dot
-10 grain 700x

if any of these...

Hi all, after shooting jacketed for a while i'm starting to venture back into cast.

Have some experience loading cast for the 7.62x54r, but now looking into the .308 winchester.

Have expander...

10 shots at 100 yards, 19 grain 4227 with dacron filler and win standard prime..

Less gunk in the barrel / more complete burn and more...

ok, that's good to know regarding the Dacron exiting and coming apart. Tried the load with a magnum primer since i had them loaded up already anyway; vertical spreading decreased, but the groups...
