I am using the individual forum titles as the monthly topics (going from the top down).
Sort of hard to get the whole process into one picture, but I'll go ahead and post a picture of the finished 45-70s.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...291d621498.jpg

1947 Remington Model 81 in 35 Rem with patched 215gr over a heap of H414.
Here's another if you like heavy-for-caliber 50 cal wildcat stuff:

Tested in water at 1850 fps. Decent mushroom I think.

Howdy !
Here's my wildcat " .35 Remington Neckless ".
Boolit is Dead Center's .35" caliber swaged 195SPBT, "patched" w/ DYMO self-stick label maker tape.
With regards,

Nice patching. Nice set of calipers too. My family going back to my grandparents are from Athol, and all have worked at Starrett's beginning in 1939. They make great stuff.Quote:

Yes, there is something to be said about operating without batteries.Quote:

If I understand properly you get a bullet mold without any grooves and then you put a type of paper around it, does that paper remove the need for using a lubricant? I'm going to have to dig into this a little bit, it sounds interesting.
MOA, your fired primers are showing a mite of overpressure.
We have a whole forum full of info about it.Quote:

I think those are McFred's primers HABCAN. I don't have any images in this topic this month. But, thanks for the heads up.Quote:

If you meant my primers, they're fine. The brass is rated for 65ksi, the action is stout enough for 'modern' magnum loads. The firing pin hole is oversized and no matter what pressure the primers pucker some; the edges/corner of the primers are still rounded and there's no hard bolt lift or sticky extraction despite the very slight case-taper. Never have blanked a primer despite thousands of full-pressure jacketed rounds on that receiver.Quote:

Wow, old thread. Mr. Bullbarrel, it's a .510" Winchester Short Magnum wildcat, not a 50-70. 505gr pure lead .500" diameter patched up to .512". Here's the same case with a 700gr tumble-lubed projectile: https://s32.postimg.cc/bmchix1vp/700gr_WSM.jpg
It'd be similar to a shortened .50 Razorback wildcat based of the Remington Ultramag case intended for a long action.
I just looked at the link...………………………….that is insane !!!!!!! it would hurt so bad, kind of like a small paradox rifle.....that's ANGER not a bullet...……………………………..
