Cases can split. Accuracy poor. I had a ruger single six with both cylinders and tried 22lr in the 22wmr. Didn't bother again.

Thanks for pertinent observations re strengths of these actions!
We have "long" range pistol calibre rifle events here in the UK.
100/200/300.

I have a 1894 and both saeco moulds.
409 is a 4 cavity 195gn tc and the 410 is a 2 cavity 220 gn rnfp.
The 409 works flawlessly thru the action and is pretty accurate.
The 410 seems to shoot...

Yes it is a full size action. As you say getting a barrel from Numrich is out.
I can get a blank here and get it fitted. Its a licensable item here!
Its just the extractor side of it that bothers...

I have a couple of rolling blocks in 43 Egyptian.
How feasible is it to rebarrel one into 357 maximum?
I guess the problem area would be the extractor?

On a whim I got a MP moulds brass hbwc mould - a thing of beauty!
Here in the UK Marlins are used for paper punching out to 50 yards.

What a great write up!
Your English is better than a lot of my friends here in the UK!
FWIW I would measure the diameter of your 3 bullets as cast.

I understand the original JPW in the yellowish tins is hard to get or no longer produced.

Thanks for the replies and PM`s chaps.
I am sure this has got legs!

Thanks for the info on accuratemolds Colorado.
I hadn`t even thought about them!
That would save alot of faffing with Lee.
Cheers.

Has anyone had Lee make a custom mould recently?
If so what was the quality like and turn around time?
I have been in GB`s here in the bad old days and still feel "tainted"!

Thats the type of thing.
I was thinking about the sabot going up to the waist but being quite long.

Plastic sabots to fit the Lyman 12g slug.
In essence,the slug will be held inside its own plastic cup which will be in two indentical halves.
This would do away with using a traditional plastic...
