For my personal Ladybugs, I am going with the unmodified .25 ACP rim since my intended donors are an old Stevens breakopen gun originally a .44XL shot and an replica 1849 Colt that I need to make a cartridge conversion for.
My project is hampered by the fact that my little lathe is not big enough to put a rifle length barrel in it, plus I am still in the design stage fo the cartridge conversion.
