Has anyone tried 9.3 x 72R brass? I've not had any luck finding 9.3 x 74R but found some of the 72R.

I recently bought a stainless steel, target-sighted, Uberti reproduction of the Remington New Model Army revolver. I sent off to Howell Arms for a pair of .45 Colt conversion cylinders. They're the...

I just sent a chunk of cash off to ebay for a vintage Ideal 358416 mould with handles. I found one about 3 years ago with handles at the same place. To my knowledge, they only came in single cavity...

Can anyone tell me the standard rate of twist for two similar black powder cartridges, the .45-120 Sharps and the .450 Black Powder Express? I've been all over the internet trying to find out and am...

Personally, given those parameters, I'd opt for a long-barreled .25-20.

I'm no expert. I have made paper cartridges for my .44 calibre Remington style cap and ball revolvers. I used cigarette papers.

Do you happen to remember the weight of the powder charge?

Many years ago, I had a Marlin lever-action .32 convertible. It had a rimfire firing pin for .32 Short rimfire and .32 Long rimfire ammunition and another firing pin for .32 Short Colt and .32 Long...

Thank you, Ben.

gwpercle, it's got a flat meplat, like the bullet Colt designed for their version. I wanted it for my Marlin 1894 as much as for my S. & W. Mod. 66 revolvers.

I just scored this old jewel. I'm looking forward to putting it to use.

Perhaps I could have phrased my query in a better manner, like this:

Back when all rifle cartridges were loaded with black powder, how did the gun manufacturers determine the optimum barrel...

Can anyone inform me of a reliable formula for calculating the optimum barrel length for a known boolit (calibre and weight) and a known charge of black powder?

I've a quick question. What is the heaviest charge of black powder you've heard of being used in a .357 revolver cartridge? The original .38 Special was 21.5 gr. of black under a 158 gr. lead...

VERY eye-catching!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for that "field expediency" lesson.

Not having any accurate means to weigh ingredients, I mixed mine by volume after the ingredients were melted. I kept it simple, one pint of melted tallow and one pint of melted beeswax. We'll see...

That's why I carry a pocket calculator with me to the grocery store. Oftentimes, the "large economy size" isn't as economical as the smaller sizes. It's a marketing ploy as most people with think...

After I came home from the Army, I'd go to the county sheriff's office & give them $5.00 for a 30 day Dangerous Ordnance Permit & take the permit to the hardware store & purchase all of the dynamite,...

These vermin are everywhere and they breed like rats.

I've no practical experience with 9 mm. black powder loads to share. I'd just mark a dowel with the length of space the bullet takes up in the case & fill the case a little bit (0.10") higher than...

Thank you for doing what you did. I pray you continue in good health. Sorry about the disrespect you suffered at the actions of the "professionals".
