    Well you know you could be right there because I do recall seeing mention of a brief experiment with a piercing device extending from the breech face in order to poke a hole in cartridges. Mine does not have it, just a flat face with the s/n stamped on it.

    Let’s talk about the F’s

    I may not be in the proper thread but here is what I have anyway... I just recently aquired a PH Whitworth Birmingham no less, s/n 322. The tumbler is equipped with a fly, did all Whitworth come with one? My 'Volunteer' and 'Muskatoon' did not. Also have a Dyson mould, any tips on how to cast...

    FFg and small bore

    I have a 'Volunteer' with the patent breach. I dump about 8gr. of 4fg into the chamber using a drop tube then the 80gr main charge of either 3fg or 2fg on top of that. My nipple has a .027" orifice. It fires like a center fire cartridge rifle.

    Need advice on difficult loading PRB

    Has anyone used Alox 45-45-10 with any success with the heavy (500gr plus) conicals ?

    Need advice on difficult loading PRB

    I agree, but when using my PH .451 with the cursed 'patent' breach, I try to avoid any cleaning of the bore before loading to avoid fouling the primer channel until I'm done shooting. I also use a drop tube to make sure the powder gets down there. A spit wet patch seems to work fine. I only...

    Need advice on difficult loading PRB

    Well I'll tell you what I do, I use 3fg for starters then I wet patch every shot after seating the ball or conical starting after the first shot is fired. You will get consistent accuracy providing projectile and charge remain the same. I use this method with all my ML's particularly my PH...
