Each to his own, 9mm is common police carry as well as many citizens and not exclusive to a punk. Now I have no issue as to how you run your world, I run mine to suit myself as much as I can, its a right. I traveled a lot when I was younger and I carried a 22, I was confident in my...

You said the nicest thing and compliment I have had in a long time! Thank you. I may not be remembering things right, but from memory, Casull was a Cartridge not a gun? If I follow this correctly, he used a Ruger for the basis for conversion. Not an ROA but a Redhawk and any of...

Its a well known aspect of powder, BP or smokeless. Lots variations can be 10%. At issue is your method of volume measuring accurate? How full is the charger and how much has the powder been settled or aired out? Weighing makes sure that is not a factor. And I do not believe...

The Pietta Rems are a lot slower twist and I saw no difference in performance accuracy wise with either one.

Agreed, one of my points, no one has tried to build one so its an open top (grin) question that 45D is answering a step at a time! That is a totally unsupported (grin) statement. Mfgs of unmentionable cylinders are rightly risk adverse. They take what the gun mfg designed to for...

Or a high capacity 9mm!

I would say that puts 45D in the same category as Colt, Wright Brothers and Tesla! As this is ROA, I will interject a query that I may well have missed. I know its not recommended (ah hem) but with an unmentionalbe cylinder how high a CUP pressure would the ROA be rated for? Now I...

45D: Thank you for the details. I was getting ready to do my pencil and paper spreadsheet to see the relationships. As noted previously, in a move of stupidity in not checking the charge I did a double load of Unique (14-15 grains) in the 47 Walker with a 45C Unmentionble (I went with...

Sa'll right. I like to see em. I have zero complaints quality wise on the 2023 47 Walker. Well other than the arbor issue, but then Uberti is the only one offering a 47 Walker. 45D can weigh in on quality vs the original. Hard telling about the original 47s. Reports of...

The consensus is against brown bears, you want a penetrating round. Two balls would not give you that. I recall Lewis and Clark had a run in with a Grizzly, took a lot of full on ball shots to put it down. Now if you had a cannon...................

Very nice.

I took that to mean a lack of understanding of the ROA rammer system as well. The only thing I don't like about the ROA. Does anyone else feel the sights are outstanding? Better than any other modern sight or the target 58s. I don't have any other Ruger pistols to compare it to...

Many may be familiar with this, but I know of two (systems?) more or less on the idea of multiple balls. One would be double shotted cannon (closest I think) The other would be the Buck and Ball in the era between the Revolutionary War and the Civil war.

Reading the one where you compress BP, then fill, compress again and then put a ball on top and ram. I found myself hugely skeptical (incredulous) that it was tried as you then have to compress already compressed power even more to get the ball below the chamber rim! I have done that a...

While I ran into minimum orders for mechanical systems parts, I have not seen it for reloading components or anything else a normal consumer would buy. So yea, that would be a red flag as per hawkeye2, not taking CC and other means is the 2nd one and scam alert goes up like a gale warning.

Clean sheet of paper? Only as long as it was via the Blackhawk. Nothing wrong with what he did, in fact I admire what he did. But clean sheet of paper it was not and he picked the worst rammer system. Its so annoying, 3 fiddly pieces, almost ruins the fun of shooting it. I do...

The first time I encountered an overhung crank system (ie, the connecting rods and pistons outside of the end bearing I was stunned. IR made it work for as many years as they made compressors the T-30 type (60 some years?). They made a design choice, few if any other mfgs did. It...

I for sure am not a physicist though I believe we are talking in the realm of mechanical engineering and physics is only part of what goes on. Now, what you need to do is offer up a design of equal materials and weights and see what is an is not possible. The Closed frame design allows a...

I will add that to my experiment list. One chamber only! I have seen 1100 fps with 777, have to check fo lead after a load like that.

What I can say is Chain fire issue starts at .451 (and likely below but .451 is a good point to call for remedy) FWIW, I shoot some .451 just to see if there is an accuracy gain. When I do I used a lubed felt wad. I had done some testing with felt wads ahead of the bullets, removed the...
