Uriah, SASS # 53822

PM sent.

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

https://dutchmuzzleloaders.nl/Beaumont Treffen_bestanden/45 70 at Two Miles The Sandy Hook Tests of 1879.pdf The 80 grains loading were in a 2.4” case, 500 gr bullet. Uriah

Kid Rich, 47 gr? I suspect a typo? Sailor Jim, I recall a fine grade of black powder, and nobody could tell the readers a lot about it, type or granulation. Old OE (Goex manufacture) is dense and velocities exceed Swiss. I don’t know if the Goex OE of recent manufacture is the same. Kind of like your original question, they change the process over the years and who knows what you wind up with. Uriah

The powder or the polymer coat or both?

Jackslade, You’re going to need a compression die to get any kind of consistency in seating the wad. 1/8” , .125” you can get by without a drop tube. I do both no matter what the compression. After I weigh the charges, it takes little time to place it in a drop tube. Mine is a homemade affair. Uriah

Colorado Coffinmaker, I recall 30 years ago, that that Ruger 45 revolvers, had a tight spot from the frame. I confirmed that on the Ruger 45 Blackhawk that I owned. Shoving a lapping slug at the muzzle and it was tight as it entered the frame. I fired lap the barrel, I don’t know the count of it, 30-60 times. You ever done that? Uriah

Let me get this straight. The movie, “Winchester 73” was an actual 1/1000 gun? Add not some prop gun? Uriah

I’d be interested in 100-200, shipping. I prefer Rem ( all the cases now are Remington). But, I can make it work. Uriah

HK Uriah, To me, how straight the bullet is seated, within the case. 1. You can’t measure it on a loose fitting case. Fire form brass that’s been unsized. 2. Measurement off because of unevenly in the neck. When I turn brass, often one side get straightened by more than the other side. .001” Uriah

How much? I haven’t paid much attention to it because I don’t resize my bass. When I did, neck size only, I would get, .002-.003 That’s the best I can do. If you’re resizing the bass, go and seat a bullet with the last driving band out. Then measure it, the first driving band and the nose of the bullet. To me, that would indicate whether your molds at fault or the dies. Here’s a case for a co-axial press? Uriah

They’re going after random parts! The main objective is to shut this site down? Uriah

Spiritmaker, I had one just like you, Uberti, Navy Arms, 16” trapper. I shaved the spring down and it promptly broke. I used it as is with the broken spring. The safety hangs down. and works as it should in the firing position. I couldn’t believe how smooth the trigger was with no spring. Uriah
