    Primer Compound -- getting it to stick

    Large rifle primer tray holes hold a Tap-o-cap #11. Leave two rows empty on each side when you carefully slide the cardboard back into place.

    I have grown weary.

    Was testing a new flint .22 cal build the other day. Grabbed a small flask of powder, loaded it up and was only getting 1in 3 or four panfulls to flash, much less fire.

    Small ASM chambers?

    Is that a straight down reamer or something that starts slightly tapered to get it in the opening? guess i need to get some good calipers- digital because i can`t see the little numbers on my other one any more. suppose it won`t be much different than reaming model A axle kingpin holes.

    Small ASM chambers?

    I get a nice lead ring shaved from the ball. i`m in the great white north, political situation between our nations as it is, i may never see my cylinder again. is reaming the cylinder a gunsmith job or can a machinist type do it?
