.43 Spanish Rolling Block: Any other calibers it can be converted to without rebarell

[Bullshop]

I just happen to have one of those Numerich Arms barrels for sale.
This one though is a full octigon and chembered for the 444 marlin.
$100.00 shipped.

jgraham1: I use the same lead as I do for my muzzle loaders, pretty much pure with lots of lube. I mold I built has very large lube grooves much like a maxi ball. I pan lube with a bees wax Vaseline and a smidgen of paraffin.

Marvin S -

Interesting way of doing it. I do not pan lube because of the mess but use a Lyman sizing die instead. I like the SPG lube. Have you tried that at all? Up here in Alaska I have never had a problem with it getting to the point where it would not flow properly and soften the powder as required. How does your lube work in the cold?

I have not used it in the cold yet but I believe it to be similar to SPG. It is very soft.

Can you reveal the ratios of your mix or is it a secret?

I had my .43 Spanish relined to .45/70. Here's a pic of the final project:

I'd bought the gun at a gunshow for $150. The bore was just awful plus I wanted a more practical caliber. Restocked it myself (with some help from Treebone Carving).
I shot silhouette for a few years with it.
The liner is invisibe.

No secret I just used one of them listed from this web site. As to the exact ratio I don't remember. I just made a large batch that should last for a while. I did, by accident get the lavender scented Vaseline. So between the bee wax and lavender it smells nice.

I am working with one now that is a basket case, I was thinking of lonning it to 405 Winchester, A Great clasic cla good for hunting and target. What do you all think? J.Michael

Two questions, to neither of which I know the answer. Will the action stand the back pressure of the 405 Win?. Will the case fit in over the roller or is it too long? I know the 9.3x74R is too long.
