Just my 2 bits. Let's see, the 1 second saved for 5 rounds by using lighter springs will offset the 5 second penalty for a miss due to a FTF?

Matthew Duncan, No worries about North/South orientation. The poles are constantly switching so in about 10-50,000 years you should be able to shoot west with your North bullets! Caladisi Kid

Use low velocity RAM SET 22 cartridges for blanks, available from most hardware stores, Home Depot, Lowes's, etc.

Just my 2 bits, I just used a length of leather/suede lace from the craft store and put a length of neoprene/closed cell foam under the lace inside the loop for padding before I wrapped the lever. CK

Depends on which model Rugers you have SASS Rugers already have lighter springs. Ditto on this

My 2 bits: From the measurements given I would guess that it is an obsolete 8mm Lebel round cut down. The primer pocket looks to have been swaged to hold the primer in. WW1 machine guns, such as the Vickers, used the Lebel rounds. I could not match up any other rounds to fit. It looks like the red stuff is in the primer pocket as well as the base next to the rim, possible dirt left from a dug up? I do love a mystery. CK

100% firing on Federal's, 8% misses

To the OP, you are asking the wrong question. The query should be: Why do I not have enough? Buckets and boxes are cheap.
