    I recommend 45 Colt resizing die

    A 45 ACP seating die is "OK"

    I recommend a 45 Auto Rim Profile (roll) crimp die

    That is the way to do it.

  2. Check out Rice Barrel Company in North Carolina. They are noted for muzzleloading barrels, but they should be able to cut a barrel to your specifications. You might also check out Green Mountain barrels.

    I pulled most all these links. Went to YouTube and searched.  Looked like a freak show. Nothing for me. 

    I'm with you. As far as I am concerned all that modern stuff shown above is CRAP. Give me a '60, '66, or '73 in 44-40 shooting black powder. Just my opinion.

    Not that I’m aware of. However a few CAS gunsmiths will cut the wide spur off of a Ruger hammer and weld it to another hammer. 

    Thanks for the reply.

  5. I bought a pair of the 5-1/2" brass framed models the last time they were on sale at Cabelas. I already had a pair of the steel framed model with 7-1/2" barrels but I wanted to see how the brass frames would hold up and I wanted the shorter barrels. The only modifications I have made to date is to install Tresso nipples and a plug on the hammer faces to make them smooth. I have used them in two matches so far and have had NO problems at all either mechanically, with ignition or cap jams.

     

    I plan to make them my main match pistols and see how they hold up.

  6. Judge, the best way is to buy a mould and make your own. That way you can have exactly what you want. I would recommend bullets over round balls. Get bullets with a big lube groove and use a good black powder lube. You will be able to shoot all day without worrying about fouling.

     

    Hope you are doing good.
