You may find a Lyman 457-191 is appropriate.
They say it a 300gr boolit but mine drop 305+/-
The Oregon trail boolits look good too but buying 200 of a boolit that may not be what you like is a...

10.3X60R is the metric version of the 450/400 2-3/8” cartridge.

I took an original apart and posted it on the NitroExpress forum.

Not sure about the malleability of teflon but lots of swagers use airsoft balls for plastic tips on their swaged jacketed boolits.

These aren’t Berdan primed. They are really a very early version of a Boxer primer with a separate anvil.
Look them up, quite interesting historically.
...

That’s pretty much how these are primed.
My cases are NOS primed brass with that type of primer. I’ve seen photos of the primers and anvils in tins but of course those would be collector items if...

I have a number of original Eley 500 Express cases which have deep primer pockets for the original two piece primers with the separate anvil.
Obviously, those primers are unobtanium and would be...

I’ve been very happy visiting the local recycling center and rummaging through their brass bin.
Think the last time they charged $2.00 a pound to purchase so that’s about 2 cents each for 40S&W. ...

Used to shoot a Martini International in the local Explorers group when I was a kid - indoors.
Part of the fun was setting the trashcan way back behind the firing line and ejecting each shell into...

Now THAT is funny!
Sort of like "hey!... I resemble that remark!"

To the OP, I suspect that air rifle supply manufacturers insist that their products be used only in air rifles to avoid the FFL requirement.
There is no reason at all that their boolits could not be...

5.7X28 is about the closest diameter for .308” boolets and is pretty plentiful.
Most anybody would trade you those 32-20 cases for whatever 30cal bullet you would want.
If you were local, I sure...

I sure would like to take it out for a hunt some day!

As for the plates, I would think that the steel would feel colder than a wood grip.
Although, if it were that cold, I’d be wearing some sort...

A very special George Gibbs Farquharson recently finished by Steve Bertram.
Brought back to it's original style and purpose - rebarreled (chambered in 500/450 No.1 Express), new forend and a proper...

Speaking of experimentation, has anyone tried used coffee grounds?
Every morning I wonder about this.
...

I’ve had pretty good luck buying at local auctions.
Picked up 2K Winchester LR primers a couple months ago for $80/K including buyer’s premium and tax.
No shipping or hazmat since I picked them up....

I use a card wad in my black powder rifle cartridges because in Eley did in the 19th Century and they knew more about the subject than I ever will!

That said, I believe they are to protect the...

I was lucky to find a collection of screens at the local recycler!

Naturally, I needed to see which ones sifted out equivalents of the commercial BP I have...

"...the authority having jurisdiction for fire safety in the locality in which the explosive materials are being stored of the type of explosives, magazine capacity, and location of each site where...

These days, sourcing the correct Berdan primers can be a limiting factor too. Some modify original cases to take shotgun primers or sleeve the pocket and remove the anvil to accept boxer primers -...

“increased compression decreases burn rate. Velocity increases with compression when that compression is used to allow an increase in the powder charge.”

I’ve often thought that an over compressed...

I bought one of the Pedersoli Missouri River Hawken rifles with a 1 in 24” twist.
I hope to use a heavy-ish paper patched boolit in that.
Will report when I get out with that rifle.
If you have...

The tube is a little test tube shaped copper tube down the center of the boolit.
#6 Powder is the British firm Curtis & Harvey's No.6 Powder which was the most commonly used powder in sporting...

I like the Rigby case!
I don't have one of those.

Seeing as how 95% of modern .45ACP shooters couldn't shoot a better group, I'd say you're doing alright...

This is all very interesting and fortunate as I have more 215s than any other primer!
In my experience, I have treated black powder cartridges in much the same way as I've treated smokeless loads....
