Klaus,
Nice shooting from the offhand position
My apologies for not going into a bit more detail about the load that UMC offered. http://www.cascity.com/forumhall/ind...c,52963.0.html
I had casually mentioned that UMC would have used a wad..... based on my making and shooting some of these cartridges the wad thickness would likely have been at least 3/16" (5mm) thick. They likely would have compressed the powder charge a bit first or compressed it with the wad in place. Hard to say.
Anyway, as I mentioned, I used PSB (Poly Shot Buffer) to fill the space between the powder and the bullet since I do not have wads of the proper thickness. Cream of Wheat or Corn Meal would likely work as well.
I found that historic loading when assembled as above, would produce groups at 100 yards in the 2-3" range from the bench.
Have fun!

Morning Klaus,
I'm not sure what you are asking for. Are you looking for a sectioned 28 gr. cartridge that would Show the powder, wad and bullet? I could make up one with what I think UMC used and take a picture of it. I have an original bullet I pulled from UMC cases containing 40 grs. Of b.p. that I would use in the pic.
Broken loads - Are you thinking about a cartridge that has had the powder and bullet removed and a picture of those?
