Hello Snapper, Great explanation of a confusing and miss-leading cartridge from history. I have seen these with rim-fire firing pin strikes all around the rim, proving your point. Regards...Doc
Thanks!! Theres a company that makes new molds of authentic original bullets and other civil war bullets. . Its called era's gone bullet molds. They use modern lee molds but makes it much cheaper to cast original bullets.
Thanks!! I was unaware I was announcing it wrong. Lol, thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately, i dont believe there is a way to fix this video after its been up for so long. But If I ever remake this video, I will definitely pronounce it right. Thanks again
You should give it a chance someday. The key is to never forget it is dangerous. but with proper care training and responsibility it could become a very fun enjoyable Hobby. And you can never go wrong with a black powder revolver. The smoke and sound really makes you feel the history. Thanks for stopping by and if you ever do give it a try. please stop by and let me know. Best of luck friend
@@snappers_antique_firearms Oh, I was taught to shoot as a kid, have owned and used rifles when I was working on a farm, we needed at least one as an employee. I don't need a gun now, and if I was going to take up a shooting hobby I would be much more likely to use a bow. I did shoot a blackpowder rifle a number of times, I found that interesting because of the historical aspect. One of the guys I shot with owned and used a rifle HIS father had used, and his grandfather AND his great grand father in 1864, in the Taranaki Land Wars here in New Zealand. Which personally I felt was as Historical as it gets. :) He kindly let me load and fire it, and I did feel like I was touching history. That was in the 80s, and the guy who had the ancestor-weapon was a backyard tinkerer. He had a large, petrol engine remote control plane, about two mtr wingspan, and he was trying to fit a semi-automatic rifle and a TV camera to it. He was CERTAIN this was the next great innovation in warfare but the technical equipment was too bulky by far. He was pretty savvy as an engineer though.
@@uncletiggermclaren7592 sounds like a very cool experience to shoot a rifle that has been in one family for so long. He sounds like a very interesting guy. My father was very big into RC airplanes and helicopters before he passed. About 10 years ago we both got into Flying FPV ( first person view) were your wearing a set of goggles and flying the plane or helicoper threw a small camera onboard. It was a lot of fun. Never seen any person put a real gun on one. I am sure here in the US. if you ever did that you would get into a crazy amount of trouble. Plus sounds extremely dangerous. I always thought putting a airsoft pistol onto a helicopter would be fun. Put two cameras on board. one just looking forward for a pilot. then have another camera that's mounted to a pan-and-tilt system that would have that little Airsoft pistol on it. so you would have 1 person to fly the helicopter. and the other person just as a gunner. being airsoft no one could get hurt. Just fly around your backyard and have your buddy shoot beer cans.
@@snappers_antique_firearms Oh yeah it was dangerous. It was only a .22 but as you are aware they will carry for a mile or more, and he really had no idea at all of where it was shooting. He used to fly it at the height of the big shade trees too, and try to shoot it at the Magpie nest up there, so seriously he was being dangerous. It was on a big farm, no neighbours for a long way, but even so. The cops would have locked him up on the spot if they knew about it. Glad you had such a fun hobby to share with your Dad. All we really have in the end is Family, right?.
@@uncletiggermclaren7592 wow that is crazy. I was fairly Reckless as a Young Man. But thats far further that I would have ever took it. Growing up I lived in the middle of nowhere and boredom would make you do some really crazy things but at the end of the day the only person that could have got hurt was myself. Family at the end of the day is all we have. Unfortunately my mother and father passed away a few months ago. It still feels strange that they are gone.
The name of the book is (the Colt Single Action revolvers- a shop manual volumes 1 and 2) by Jerry kuhnhausen. Its a great book covering every make of Single Action Army ever made. from the Colts to the Italian models.
It called( the colt single action revolvers - a shop manual , volumes 1&2. ) by jerry Kuhnhausen. Its a great book for all repairs for the SAA and its clones. Plus extreme detailed measurements and ways to rebuild any part of the gun. Plus quite a bit of historical information as well
Great explanation, not just of the Benet primer, but also a simple explanation of how ignition happens on a rimfire
Hey squib how have you been brother.
@@snappers_antique_firearms not on YT as much as I'd like Good to see another video from you. I need to catch up on 11BangBang.
@@squiblift2019 yeah i have seen very few videos from you Lately figured you have been working. Always glade to see you here.

Thanks Doc!!
Cool video. I have a few 45-70 cases that were Benet primed.
Its a neat cartridge. I love the Ingenuity of that time and history.
fascinating as always and have to say, had not heard of that type of centrefire before, cheers cobber, another gem
Thank you steve
Excellent demonstration brother.
Sorry i didn't make it as a video response. But i hope this works.
Nice video, was not aware of this cartridge or never knew what I was looking at, nice cutaway and explanation 😎👍🇺🇸
Thanks skunk hope all is going well

That what i was thinking. Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for uploading this video lol I really enjoy these typs of videos
Thanks garrett
Nice mold, I wish I had a 45 conical mold instead of just one for round balls.
Thanks!! Theres a company that makes new molds of authentic original bullets and other civil war bullets. .
Its called era's gone bullet molds. They use modern lee molds but makes it much cheaper to cast original bullets.
@@snappers_antique_firearms Hey thanks, I’ll look into that :)
Awesome Snapper! great informative video. Sorry no I do not know the answer to that
Always glade to see you here gray. 🍻
Very good explanation and great use of illustrations. One minor point: "Benet" is pronounced "Benay", not "Bennett".
Thanks!! I was unaware I was announcing it wrong. Lol, thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately, i dont believe there is a way to fix this video after its been up for so long. But If I ever remake this video, I will definitely pronounce it right. Thanks again
An early adaptation of center fire I presume
Yes One of the very first center fire cartridges
@@snappers_antique_firearms that’s awesome
I have to say, I have no desire to own or shoot a firearm, but if I did, I would have a black powder revolver. Just seems more iconic.
