A little bit is for having a rim. Traditionally the rimmed cartridge is more desirable for the break action, easier to grip and remove, possibly a little more accurate but that is debatable....

No this makes perfect sense. In the back of my mind it made the most sense but I have not done anything like it before and just wanted to hear from more experienced guys on their opinion.

Popper, it is the neck that is currently where the shortness comes from. The shoulder is in the correct location. I’m just worried that shooting short 125 grain bullets out of a blackout chamber...

As many of you have probably read I have been working to put together a cartridge for my newest contender build. I loved the idea of the 30 badger but wanted to use 357 magnum brass to have a little...

What twist rate would you use on a 16in barrel 125-170grains?
Forum: Single Shot Guns
The 30 badger is wonderful with the 38 special. I don’t know how it would work with the 300 blackout die. Interesting thought. I used magnum brass on thisnone
Forum: Single Shot Guns
So awhile back I posted trying to find a cartridge setup for a lightweight walk about rifle round. Like the idea of the 30 badger but wanted a little more power. Decided on running a piece of 357 mag...

I do like the option of a necked up 223 or 223 derived cartridge just due to plentiful brass. What's out there using either 223 or 221 fireball brass? obviously I know the blackout but thinking maybe...

There is nothing wrong with the hornet. It’s a sweet little oversize BB gun lol. I just have the itch for another little game getter lol. Something between that and a 30-30 realistically
Forum: Single Shot Guns
I do like some of these ideas. What options are out there as a necked down 357 mag? Thinking at least 257 or bigger? Also what is involved in forming herret brass? I do have a 30-30 and a...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
I have thought of a 25-20 or 32-20. I’ve also thought about something along the lines of a 30 Luger. All great ideas. Keep them coming
Forum: Single Shot Guns
So I have a Contender frame just itching to be built and I am thinking a small light weight walk about rifle would be just the ticket. What I dont know is what to chamber the little bugger in? I want...

I’ve got a rossi single shot that I just got back from JES rebooting it to 357 maximum. The only problem I have is that I have a little surface rust on the barrel and am looking at options for...

Well good news bad news great news!
Good news my barrel showed up yesterday
Bad news is I’m not home to play with it
The great news is I’m not home because me and my wife are at the hospital...

Mt Gianni, what’s the best way to plane base the cavities?
Forum: Cast Boolits
I am currently waiting on a barrel to get back from JES Reboring that I am looking to start casting for. It will not be a high volume deal so I am looking at the Lee 358-200 2 cavity. my questions is...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Well I sent the barrel off to JES yesterday. 357 max at 20”….. we shall see how it goes
Forum: Single Shot Guns
MT Gianni, lookup is good and tight. I agree on the contender and that was my original plan, however I would like a new frame to go with it as well and I’ve been waiting on an ssk50 for over a year...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
I’ve got a rossi 223 heavy barrel single shot that I am thinking of rebooting to 357 max. The gun never has shot the greatest but I did some honing to the trigger years ago and it’s smooth as butter....

Looking for some guidance, I have traditionally used speer shot capsules in 38 and 357 with 3 pieces of number 1 shot in them for fun rounds, however with the shotshells being hard to come by I have...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
I have thought about a 357 max in a rifle. What options are there for suppression? Is it a good suppressor host? Also what are you guys running for a spritzer bullet in one? Will these 350 legend...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Let’s see some opinions I’m all ears!
Thinking about a new 16-18in barrel for a contender rifle. Looking at something in the 300blk or 30 Herrett size. My question is what cartridge do you like...
