    Do these same techniques apply with Black Powder? When I do reduced smokeless I don’t use fillers at all.

    I never was a fan of the backer rod. I was just always under the impression that COW was the best, but now I’ve read “otherwise”.

    Haha I’m not planning on using my bore butter on my breakfast toast! :) I’d just like to know if the smell would be bad or off putting? I don’t want it to stink up my safe or even the house!

    rim.

    That would probably work with a good engine lathe. I know some people make 11mm Mauser from 300 Win Mag. I’ll look into it, I have lathe access at work.

    I can agree, especially with "4831" the old surplus hodgdon 4831 is a slot slower than todays IMR 4831. I'm not sure where H4831 is on that scale though.

    I have quite a few carcani and small ring mausers and they are some tough actions, definitely not weak, however it's hard to beat a M98 mauser action for a custom build.

    Groove diameter is the word I was looking for!!! I’ll fire-form up some brass and see what I can get to fit in the case. .452 would be easy to find bullets for… if they fit in the chamber.
