Hello, i'm a newby here, i write from Italy so excuse my english!
So, going to the question, i does have a springfield trapdoor carbine made by harrington and richardson in the far 1973, exactely a century after the first '73 trapdoor come out from Springfield arsenal, i know that H&R isn't on business from many years, and i can't find information about my carbine, the only thing i see is a 8 rifle barrel instead the 3 of the original, i shoot the .45-55-405 bp cartrige hand loaded.
Anyone load the same? and what kind of filler between powder and bullet?
(i use cornflour)
The bullet is the lee hollow base 405 grains, i melt with 30-1 alloy (is too soft?) but results isn't so good, any advice?
Rusty
