I used a Lee bullet mold and cut it down by one Band and one groove so it is about 350 grains and .515 diameter
Trying once more to establish contact with the hopes of purchasing the carbine. I just need a method to contact you as I am unable to private message.
Hover over the brown square with the R in it and then move down to click on the start conversation button.

I have a fellow that supposed to buy it. He is supposed to get the money in a couple of weeks. If it falls through, I’ll let you know. Thank you for your interest.
Understood, cash in hand for the moment.. Please let me know ASAP.
Thank you to others who attempted to assist with contact. Unfortunately as a new member I do not have the ability to start conversations.

I have not heard from the fellow that was supposed to buy the Morse carbine. Are you still interested?
I am curious if the repro Morse cases sold by Track have the same powder capacity as the originals?

No they do not hold as much powder as the original.
I most certainly am. Unfortunately I cannot PM. Could you try to PM me or tell me the best means of contact?

Such an incredibly handsome arm. So unique and special!!
That is a cool rifle for sure! On a separate note. That other Civil War Carbine that used the plastic reloadable cartridges (forgive me, I can't remember the name of the rifle) should be accepted here too then??

are you talking about the Burnside carbine? According to the rules, if it was in production before 1865, not a prototype, it is allowed on this forum.
Yeah, I believe that is the one.

As long as they use a separate, outside priming system, usually a musket cap, then they can be discussed. Hence the Spencer carbine can't be discussed due to self contained rimfire system.
The carbine with the gutta-percha cases are the Smith. Very user friendly, now they use a plastic or metal case and musket cap. The rub is most modern case makers gravitate towards target shooters, and doesn't have as large a capacity as originals.
IIRC, the original load was 45grs fine powder and 320-350 bullet.
I did not see a piece of paper with name and date in one of the photos. Please comply with the guidelines.
