I just picked up a round ball mold, and another 20 pieces of brass (I've got 40 cases now.) Looking forward to getting back on the range with it. Congrats on taking a Deer with yours. That's gotta...

Yea its definitely a lot of fun. I just picked up 20 more pieces of brass, so I'll have 40 for the next range trip. Looking forward to getting back out on the range with it.

Thank you very much!

Its somewhat similar, but its still really different. The burnside was developed to try and solve the problem of the early breech loaders difficulty in sealing the gap between the breech block and...

45 grains was the standard military loading. It would be tough to fit any more than that in the case. I was using 40 grains. From what I've read 38-42 grains seems to be the range for people who...

Its a lot of fun to shoot, and I got a lot of people stopping by, asking questions about it. (which is fun also.) I used a lot of lubricant, between the grease cookie, and then dipping the bullet. ...

My Newest Acquisition, an 1864 Burnside Carbine. US Cavalry Carbine. I put together this little video of my first day on the Range with it. Thought you might enjoy seeing it.
For round one, I just...

Dixie has 2 pages of products in the brass case section. I still see nothing that is related to the burnside? If you have the link to the item I'll check it out. maybe I'm blind.

Thanks Scrounge. I just did a quick google on vapor smoothing. This is something I have never heard of. I'll do some more in depth reading. Good Idea for exploration.

The downside is me investing in the expense of a 3d printer, and the time and effort to learn to create a printed case. That's why I asked if anyone has tried. The gas seal is really the only point...

Looking forward to getting out to the range and trying it soon

Here's the case. If you don't refer to where the brass ends at the mouth as a rim, I'm not sure what else you would call it?

That's interesting. I don't see any such product on their website under burnside, chamber ring, or nylon. I'll have to do some more digging when I'm off work to see what I can find.

I have some brass. but I haven't even fired it yet. Just messing around with it, the rim on one case is already destroyed. If I have to buy $6 brass every time I shoot, it'll just live in the back...

Thats interesting, and troubling. There's some different dynamics when coming down from a 73 caliber shotshell to 54 caliber. In addition there's certainly strength added at the base of a conical...

Yes, that is what I'm asking. The Burnside carbine used a cone shaped brass case that held the powder and the lead projectile, and was then ignited using a separate musket cap. Brass cases are...

Nice, thanks. I might take you up on that offer eventually. I've been scouring the internet to see if anyone else has ever tried it, and if so, what problems did they have. It might not be worth...

Question: I just picked up a Model of 1864 Burnside Carbine. I see that nylon cases used to be available, but from what I've read, the supplier seemed to not survive the covid downturns. My question...

excellent. Thank you very much sir.

Gotcha outpost75, that makes sense, Savvy Jack also posted the the link: ...

Thanks, Savvy Jack. I saved that article. That was very helpful.

ok, Here's another Question. I ordered the bullet mold through accurate (43-200ql) and handles. I'm going to need to re-size the casted bullets down to the .444 throat diameter. I'm using a lee...

definitely!

Thanks sharps4590! My question was really about getting a properly sized mold to fit my oddly shaped chamber/throat/groove diameter. I think i have that question answered. mold i ordered. I can...

I concurr. I used to go to the range regularly with his father, but last year his father passed away from cancer. Since then, we have been going to the range together. He's always up for going...
