From what I've read, it's the .454 and .480 SRH that are really difficult to remove the barrels from. Bowen will replace barrels on the .44s, but not the others. I've seen JRH built SRHs with custom...

I had the exact same experience with that oven.

So far I've got a ladle and some ingot molds... I need to buy a furnace and some bullet mold now.

Extremely soft and broke apart easily with a pick axe.

I just got home from work a while ago. I'll look at it tomorrow.

I was able to lift it fairly easily. Definitely has some weight, but I think it's thin walled.

A friend gave me this pipe he's had laying in his yard for about 20 years. It came from a medical lab. The lab tech said it's lead, but it seems a little hard.
How can I test it and whats the best...
Yep. Look at how successful the Paterson was in the early Texas-Indian War. I've read stories of buffalo being killed with them. Of course they were happy to step up to the Walker with it's heavier...
If custom work is allowed, this would be doable with most revolvers. You would have to have custom barrels and shrouds made up, using the Dan Wesson style tensioned barrel. That would be an expensive...

Is that a 9mm 1911? 1150 is pretty fast for a 45acp. Either way, subs from a bolt action are completely different than subs from a semiauto pistol.

Exactly. I just wanted to make sure that OP want scared away from the suppressed thumper idea, thinking it would be substantially louder than a small bore. It is really easy for people to get hung up...

True, but I can tell you from experience that subsonic 45acp and 44mag , from a bolt gun, are noticeably quieter than subsonic 9mm through a semi auto pistol. They are probably quieter than a semi...

Look at the Liberty Cosmic. I really like mine. It's a serviceable can, that's rated for 22lr-44mag. It can handle a few low pressure rifle rounds as well. My .45acp Mauser sounds like a pneumatic...

I'm curious about that as well. It would be interesting to see how quiet that is, compared to subsonic 44s with a suppressor.

I'm interested in a load like this for my 77/44. It needs to be under 1.61oal though. I wonder if using 44spl brass would be a better alternative.
