Well hello everybody!
Yesterday I got a package in the mail from Hungary. Inside were the five reproduction cartridge boxes for .36 caliber percussion revolvers.
Needless to say, I needed to make some cartridges! So I went to work making them today using a dowel rod mandrel, 126 grain conical bullets, 14 grains of GOEX FFG black powder, and some curling papers:
They look really good! But the lid doesn't close on the box. The cartridges are a bit too long. I just emailed the Hungarian fellow who makes these, asking about what load I should try so the rounds will fit in the box.
I am just glad to get some of these made, been meaning to for a long time now. I'll be sure to keep everyone updated on these cartridges, I'm sure you'll all be waiting with baited breath!
If anyone want me to explain how to make these, let me know. Thanks for reading!
