I am pleased to show the first casting from my new mold. On top of it for comparison purposes are the 30 soupcan, 38 wadcutter GB,Lee 158 TL, Lyman 44 cowboy, 311410 Lyman, and Lee 45 acp .
Ballistics are not complete yet but I plan to launch this 1.75 pound projectile at 10,000 fps from a snub nose 6 shot revolver. It will be sized 2.250001 inches and is cast of a soft alloy so it will expand reliably. It will be lubed with my own special mixture of bare grease, lemon lime jello and Preparation H in equal amounts.
Cases are formed by necking .22 short cases up. Although this shows some minor problems in headspacing, I feel it can be overcome.
The only problems remaining are finding a revolver large enough to hold 6 of the cartridges ( I plan on looking in Texas first) and coming up with a suitable name...
This brings me to the point of my posting...I need your help! I thought of calling it..."Dale's Jim Dandy Rabbit Killer!" But I don't like it.....Alas...the intellect that helped me design this great cartridge has failed me in naming it....
Any Ideas???
Happy early first of April......
