Fixed with a 1903 Springfield front .sight. The rear barrel sight is a rifle sight not a carbine.

Is that the rim diameter or the hull diameter? If it’s the hull diameter, you have a 10 gauge. Uriah

I used the car wax soap and lemon shine and no ceramic or pins. BP loads. The outside of the cases looks fine, but, the inside just begs for a case separation. Had to do it again with ceramic.

$30 and shipping. The sky screens are a pain to assemble and rather fragile.

This will work for black powder, just don’t fill it up all the way. You could even get a Brass hopper if you feel like it. The only caution I would present is don’t leave the measure full of black powder even over night. You should strip the measure and dust off the rotor and casting body. It takes one screw and you don’t even mess up your settings.. Uriah

I have the same problem with my 1860 Pieta, all the time! I usually take half of clothes pin and angle it to catch the take down catch and drive it out. Usually it works, to the detriment of the clothes pin. They are cheap. Uriah

All brass cartridges?

I got the same thing on another purchase. Text. I like to PM the seller and not give a clue in the original sellers post. Sellers: make sure your mailbox is not full! Uriah

I will take it. You can’t receive messages. Uriah

Kid Rich, Chalk it up to my inexperience with Olde Eynsford. That is why I thought you had the typo. A carbine load, that I thought you were shy of 10.gr powder. I’m sorry. Uriah

Wow, 47 gr OE, 405 gr bullets. 1160fps you’re getting? You must be feeling the void with something. I have a little experience with OE, but what I have it’s a very dense powder. Uriah
